Shanghai is steering into the future as it rolls out new licenses for autonomous vehicle operations! At the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, held from July 26 to 28, companies like Pony AI, Baidu, and Saike Intelligent Technology received demonstrative operation licenses for driverless intelligent connected vehicles.
The permits cover four models across two business scenarios, all backed by millions of kilometers in operational mileage and extensive empirical data – a clear sign of robust engineering skills. It’s like watching your favorite sci-fi movies turn into real-life tech! 🚗🤖
Industry insiders say this new phase marks a significant move towards normalizing and scaling up intelligent vehicle operations in Shanghai. Experts expect it to accelerate the commercial application of Level 4 autonomous driving technology, pushing Shanghai and the Chinese mainland further ahead in the global auto-tech race.
For tech lovers, budding entrepreneurs, and curious minds alike, this step is set to reshape urban mobility and redefine how we experience transportation.
