(250312) -- GUANGZHOU, March 12, 2025 (Xinhua) -- A passenger presses the button to start her ride via a Pony.ai robotaxi in Nansha District of Guangzhou, south China's Guangdong Province, March 11, 2025.
Pony.ai, an autonomous driving technology developer in China, recently launched four autonomous driving demonstration routes in Guangzhou. These routes connect the city's central business district with Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, and Guangzhou South Railway Station -- two of southern China's major transportation hubs.
Autonomous taxis, trucks, and logistics services are growing rapidly in Guangzhou. As of January this year, 1,298 smart connected vehicle testing roads and 10 high-speed test roads were operational.
The value of China's self-driving taxi service industry is expected to reach 1.3 trillion yuan (about 179.4 billion U.S. dollars) by 2030, accounting for 60 percent of the country's ride-hailing market at that time, according to forecasts from global consultancy firm IHS Markit. (Xinhua/Deng Hua)
