The site will include subway stations, business districts, residential areas, central business districts, industrial parks, cultural and tourism scenic spots, etc.
Different types of operating scenarios.
, it is understood that Shenzhen Bus Group has obtained the qualification for Shenzhen Intelligent Connected Vehicle Manned Demonstration Application, and its fifth branch has been approved to operate and operate 4 self-driving bus lines.
But at present, Shenzhen Bus Group has only disclosed details of a self-driving bus line on Line B998.
The line runs on a loop line, and the first and last stations are the terminal stations of the Qianhai Cooperation Zone.

After the line is opened, citizens can click “Automatic Driving” on the home page of the “Shenzhen-Bus Travel” Mini programs to make online reservations.
, 
, regarding vehicle details, the first line will use a new 6-meter 9-seat new energy self-driving minibus.
The body will be painted with the design concept of “Shenzhen-Hong Kong elements, Qianhai characteristics”, and will be printed with the words “Qianhai Autonomous Driving public transportation”.
The vehicle is equipped with a high-definition vehicle-mounted camera, millimeter wave radar and lidar, which can accurately sense surrounding vehicles, pedestrians, non-motor vehicles and road conditions in 360 degrees.
an intelligent interactive display screen is equipped in the vehicle to display the surrounding traffic sensed by vehicle sensors in real time.
Participants and vehicle autonomous driving status information, and vehicle planned driving routes.,.The whole vehicle is technically equipped with complete automatic driving functions, and all driving operations of the vehicle require no human intervention.
However, according to the “Regulations on the Management of Intelligent Connected Vehicles in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone” required by the “Regulations on the Management of Intelligent Connected Vehicles for each vehicle”, the vehicle still retains manual mode and corresponding emergency takeover measures.
, a self-driving bus vehicle to be operated by Shenzhen Bus Group in Qianhai, is from Shangtang Jueying.
