Shanghai opened another 205 kilometers of its roads for autonomous driving tests in the Pudong New Area on Tuesday. This brings the total length of such roads in the city to over 2,000 kilometers, local authorities said.

So far, 32 enterprises and 794 vehicles in Shanghai have received licenses for road tests, application demonstrations, and operation of autonomous driving, with a cumulative testing mileage of about 22.9 million kilometers and a total testing time of about 1.22 million hours.

According to the city's transport commission, 1,003 roads in the city are currently open for autonomous driving tests.

Since 2018, Shanghai has opened its roads for autonomous driving tests in stages and designated four demonstration areas including Jiading, Lingang, Fengxian, and Jinqiao.
