Shanghai is shifting gears! During the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (July 26-28), the city unveiled a fresh batch of licenses for driverless intelligent connected vehicles. 🚗
Notable names like Pony AI, Baidu and Saike Intelligent Technology are among the first to receive these permits. Covering four models across two business scenarios, the licenses are backed by millions of kilometers of operational mileage and robust empirical data – a testament to strong engineering capabilities.
Industry insiders say this marks a new phase for Shanghai's intelligent vehicle operations, moving toward normalization and scalability. This exciting step is expected to accelerate the large-scale commercial application of Level 4 autonomous driving, paving the way for smarter, safer commutes.
As technology races ahead, innovations like these are making future transport more connected and efficient. Stay tuned for more updates as autonomous driving continues to transform our daily lives! 🚀
