Autonomous vehicles are coming to some of the busiest roads in Guangzhou next. Is it just the beginning of the robotaxi revolution?
What’s happening:

Why it matters:
- This is the first time ever that an autonomous vehicle company has been allowed to operate in these highly popular routes in Guangzhou
Going deeper:
- Pony AI will use their fleet of robotaxis to connect individuals from the city centre in Guangzhou to the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport and Guangzhou South Railway Station
