Urban Mobility Reinvented: Tencent’s Autonomous Driving Road Paves the Way to Greener Cities

Imagine stepping onto a minibus that drives itself. Once you’re in, it plans the best route to your destination. If you’re an older person who needs extra time or assistance, the minibus can adapt its route and stops on the spot, ensuring your ride is hassle-free.

Meanwhile, movements are constantly monitored from a control center, where engineers can remotely address unforeseen situations that are beyond the scope of an autonomous vehicle.

This is the world that Tencent is envisioning through our WeCityX Future City Exploration Program. As part of an innovative smart mobility project, the team is testing self-driving minibuses within the bustling business park where Tencent’s headquarters are located in Beijing.
