High-end electric vehicle brand IM Motors recently received one of Shanghai's groundbreaking new licenses for intelligent connected vehicle operations.
It marked a seismic shift from last year's licenses, which only allowed road testing, to now permitting commercial operations.
With the new licenses, driverless cars like the IM Robotaxi will soon be seen on Shanghai's streets and people can conveniently book rides using a mobile app.
IM Motors has developed the technology to handle various road conditions, such as toll stations and mixed traffic, providing a smooth driving experience.
It plans to launch a trial Robotaxi service from the Shanghai International Tourism Resort to Pudong International Airport, showcasing a new way of smart travel for citizens.
To date, the IM Robotaxi has completed over 300,000 rides, covering millions of kilometers in various scenarios like business commuting and leisure activities.
As the technology expands across the city, IM Motors aims to offer even more innovative travel experiences to residents.
