Shanghai is upgrading its autonomous vehicle testing facilities, hoping to attract more solution and service providers in addition to manufacturers to help the sector prosper. Cai Wenshan, senior project manager for driverless vehicles at SAIC Maxus Automotive Co, said a bus is currently under test in the Lingang zone, and he's confident of adding the new vehicle to its fleet this year. "Here we can test the vehicle and simulate how it detects bus stops, pedestrians and other obstacles on the road," he said.
