Geely's vehicle technology wins EU certification on assisted driving

BEIJING, March ‌13 (Reuters) - Chinese ​automaker ​Geely's smart driving assistance system, G-ASD, has ‌received certification under EU regulations ⁠on advanced assisted driving, marking the ‌first approval of ‌its kind for Chinese-made driving assistance technology in the bloc.
