China debuts driverless "smart" high speed train

The Fuxing series (which will be modeled in N gauge this year btw) is running driverless operations at 350 km/h  and is equipped with all the technological features the modern passenger wants.

My question is: does it has also an automatic departure (wich would enable GoA4 - fully-driverless-operations) or it's a more orthodox semi-automatic system (GoA3 - the driver "consents" the departure via a button and then the train drives itself)?

 

The Shangai Transrapid already operates in semi-automatic GoA3 operatios, reaching 431Km/h.
