This is the first centralized exhibition of the BJHAI in autonomous driving outside the zone.

Currently, the BJHAI has basically completed the construction of a 100-square-kilometer expansion area in the 3.0 stage, and is gradually improving its industrial ecosystem. 

In the future, the BJHAI will continue to explore the practice of vehicle-road-cloud integration and create a national leading model for high-level autonomous driving cities.

It will also promote the coordinated development of the ICV industry in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and offer the "E-Town model" and "Beijing experience" to the digital transformation and upgrading of the automotive industry, urban management, and public life.
