IT Home reported on July 16 that Shanghai has been included in the list of first-tier cities that allow the use of driverless taxis, and Baidu, SAIC Saiko Intelligent, Pony.ai and Auto X Antu have obtained the Shanghai Driverless Intelligent Connected Vehicle Demonstration Application License at the 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference held in early July.

Xinhua News Agency and Shanghai Radio and Television Station found that Shanghai's first batch of driverless taxis have been put in place in Lingang, and it is expected that field tests of driverless intelligent connected vehicles for ordinary citizens will be launched within the next week at the earliest. The test period is free of charge.

IT Home learned that Shanghai officially issued the demonstration application license for driverless intelligent connected vehicles on July 4, and it has been about half a month since then.

According to the testing company, it is expected that the first batch of 5 vehicles will be put into public testing, and new vehicles will follow in succession and the number of vehicle models will also increase. The transport capacity will be adjusted flexibly based on the performance after actual testing.


Public information shows that the mileage of autonomous driving test roads open in Shanghai has exceeded 2,000 kilometers, and the number of roads exceeds 1,000. However, self-driving taxis are still in the demonstration operation stage rather than fully unmanned commercial operation, so they are still equipped with safety officers.

According to actual tests by Xinhua News Agency reporters, driverless vehicles travel very smoothly on urban roads, can accurately identify traffic light signals, and respond to situations such as sudden braking of the vehicle in front... Driverless technology has demonstrated powerful capabilities and is constantly iterating and improving based on user evaluations.
