Shanghai investing in world-class facilities for testing of autonomous vehicles

Chinese state media outlet, China Daily, reported

license by June 2018. This was revealed by Zhu Xichan, Professor at the School
of Automotive Studies at Tongji University, at the 2017 World Autonomous
Vehicle Ecosystem Conference held on November 6 in Shanghai.

Xin Guobin, vice-minister of industry and information technology,
said at the conference, that the Government will create an environment suitable
for the development of intelligent and connected vehicles. The Government will
also deepen international cooperation and work on a continuous basis for
improving policies and regulation.

The Shanghai government is taking a lead in the area and expected
to invest billions of yuan to build the top autonomous driving environment in
the world, according to Rong Wenwei, president of Shanghai International Automobile City Group.

Shanghai is building a world-class facility for research and
development, and testing and evaluating intelligent, connected vehicles. The city

system.

According to the China

($7.53 million) into controlled test zones in Shanghai International Automobile
City, not including infrastructure investment. Since the controlled test zone
with 5G telecommunications facilities became operational in June 2016, large automakers
such as General Motors, as well as start-ups, like TuSimple Inc. have been using
the facilities for testing their intelligent, connected vehicles.

There are plans to expand the current testing area of 2
square kilometre area to 25 square kilometres by the end of 2018.

The Shanghai
Declaration inked on November 6

direct efforts to build an intelligent connected transport system that causes

Transportation Innovation Center, Nomura Research Institute, and the
