Volkswagen Group China said its full-scenario advanced driver-assistance system will begin rolling out in the third quarter of 2026, with the system scheduled to appear on seven new electrified models across the group’s three joint ventures in China.

The system was developed by CARIZON, the joint venture between Volkswagen’s CARIAD software unit and Horizon Robotics. CARIZON uses Horizon’s AI foundation model through a “white-box” licensing arrangement while developing a unified China-market driving solution. Volkswagen said its first Level 3 system could begin deliveries in the second half of 2027. [[CnEVPost](https://cnevpost.com/2026/07/22/vw-l3-autonomous-driving-china-h2-2027/)]
