When a survey in 2015 revealed that more than half of Guangzhou's female commuters had experienced some form of sexual harassment ("inappropriate touching") on public transport, a handful of Chinese cities began reserving subway cars for female commuters. But the designated carriages, which were sometimes labelled in pink Chinese characters with floral adornments, did little to deter men from squeezing aboard. "When everyone is rushing to work, no one cares whether it is a female-only car or not," one commuter complained on weibo. Indeed, many men have either blatantly ignored the restrictions or were oblivious to women-only subway carriages. Enforcement has lacked teeth – in part because the metro system is so overcrowded.

Tesla removed the word "autopilot" and a Chinese term for "self-driving" from its China website after a driver in Beijing who crashed in "autopilot" mode complained that the car maker overplayed the function's capability and misled buyers. The Tesla driver crashed earlier this month while on a Beijing commuter highway after the car failed to avoid a vehicle parked on the left side, partially in the roadway, damaging both cars but causing no injuries. It was the first known such crash in China, though it follows a fatal accident in Florida earlier this year that put pressure on the auto executives and regulators to tighten rules for automated driving. "At Tesla we are continuously making improvements, including to translations," a Tesla spokeswoman said in an emailed statement to Reuters. "We've been in the process of addressing any discrepancies across languages for many weeks. Timing had nothing to do with current events or articles."
