Chinese driverless vehicles
Citizens in China are excited about the emergence of driverless buses and trucks, viewing them as safe and reliable modes of transportation.
Recently, the country hosted the Qingdao Intelligent Networked New Energy Vehicle Industry Ecological Conference, which highlighted innovations in the battery industry and the development of strategic alliances.
Over 300 participants attended the conference, where they discussed new technologies, innovative models, and the latest applications of driverless vehicle technologies.
Lili Buses
Lili Buses, featuring completely driverless, smart, and compact designs, were showcased at the Qingdao Intelligent Networked New Energy Vehicle Industry Ecological Conference. These buses have already been tested and are roaming the roads of China.
