China is shifting gears into the future! 🚀 On Tuesday, the Ministry of Public Security announced that they've issued a whopping 16,000 test licenses for autonomous vehicles across the country. 🤖🚗
At a press conference in Beijing, officials also revealed that 32,000 kilometers of roads are now open for autonomous vehicle testing. That's like driving from Mexico City to Buenos Aires and back—twice! 🌎🛣️
\"These initiatives have turbocharged the advancement of autonomous driving technology in China,\" said Wang Qiang, a senior official from the ministry. 💡
He highlighted that the ministry is teaming up with big players like the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Transport. Together, they're revving up support for the autonomous driving industry. 🏎️💨
With these moves, China's paving the way (literally!) for a driverless future. Who's ready to sit back, relax, and let the car do the driving? 🙋♀️🙋♂️
