Beijing Officially Opens Applications for Autonomous Driving “No One in the Car” Commercialization PilotBeijing, China – In a move towards advancing autonomous driving technology, the Beijing High-level Autonomous Driving Demonstration Zone Work Office announced on July 7 that it will open a pilot program for the commercialization of intelligent networked passenger vehicles with “no one in the car”. This marks a significant milestone for Beijing as it enters a new phase of commercial pilots for autonomous driving “with no one in the car”. The demonstration zone will mainly focus on assessing the service capabilities of autonomous driving companies, particularly in three areas: passenger safety risks, traffic environment risks, and autonomous driving function risks. Special attention will also be given to regulatory measures to ensure the orderly development of autonomous driving activities. The opening of applications for the commercialization pilot program in Beijing reflects the city’s determination to lead the way in autonomous driving technology.
