Yizhuang initiated an autonomous driving demonstration area in 2020. The intelligent road system there can sense traffic conditions using holographic smart devices, while multifunctional poles positioned along the road transmit computational data to vehicles and real-time cloud systems.
This increasingly intelligent travel experience is a result of China’s accelerated efforts to build smart city over the years. A nationwide network of integrated intelligent vehicles, smart roads, and real-time cloud technologies is being rolled out.
