GUANGZHOU: On August 8, driverless robotaxi services were launched in designated areas in the Chinese cities of Wuhan and Chongqing, a significant step in the East Asian country's exploration of the commercialization of autonomous driving.

Thanks to continuous technology innovation and policy support, China has made steady strides in autonomous driving, from running trials in semi-closed areas to venturing on open roads, as the market potential of this innovation continues to grow in the country.
