Lingang autonomous vehicle testing center opens - SHINE News

The Shanghai Lingang Autonomous and Informationalized Vehicle Integrative Testing and Demonstration Zone opened on Friday. It is the first project opened after Lingang expanded Shanghai's FTZ. So far, the testing and demonstration zone has built 26.1 kilometers of road for open air testing, 3 square kilometers of space for tunnel testing and a data center. Gu Changshi from the Lingang Special Area said compared with other driverless vehicle testing areas, Lingang has better road conditions and more space which allows more simulations to be tested. More than 10 companies focusing on autos and artificial intelligence have set up research centers and plants in the zone.
