Momenta has received Germany-wide L4 testing approval from the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA), one of the world's most rigorous vehicle safety authorities. The approval allows Momenta to test its L4 autonomous driving technology across urban environments nationwide under one of the most demanding safety and validation regimes anywhere. The permit is seen by Momenta as evidence that Germany's regulatory framework rewards safety and capability. The company has deep roots in Germany, with its European headquarters in Böblingen and a Munich office, as well as long-standing partnerships with Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and the Volkswagen Group. The nationwide testing permit will accelerate Momenta's ongoing projects in the country, including planned robotaxi deployment in Munich, where the approval strengthens the technical and regulatory foundation for the project's next steps. Momenta's L4 mobility platform partners include Uber, Grab, and Lumo. Momenta CEO Xudong Cao said: "Germany has set one of the global benchmarks for how autonomous driving should be regulated – rigorously, and in the interest of public safety. True autonomous driving depends on a system that doesn't just see the road, but understands it: anticipating how a situation will unfold before it does. That is the core of our Physical AI approach, and every kilometer we test here strengthens that understanding across our entire technology portfolio. This nationwide testing permit is where that understanding meets the full complexity of the real world. Earning the KBA's confidence gives us a strong foundation as we advance our projects
