China is cautiously opening up the auto drive market to international brands. There is no doubt that data from China will help the industry technology move forward faster. Tesla Inc. is working to bring the advanced driver-assistance technology it calls Full Self-Driving to China, gaining permission to test in some areas of Shanghai. General Motors Co. received approval last year to trial self-driving Cadillacs in Shanghai. Meanwhile, technology companies such as Alphabet Inc.’s Waymo and Baidu Inc.’s Apollo Go are developing robotaxis as the future of mobility, testing driverless services on the streets of cities including San Francisco and Wuhan. #EV #EVCharging #Sustainability
