Shanghai's Lin-gang Special Area is a designated autonomous-driving zone, with hundreds of public roads open for testing. In July 2025 Shanghai issued its first L4 demonstration licences to eight operators; paid, fully driverless robotaxi services began in Lin-gang in August 2025, including a route linking Pudong International Airport and Shanghai Disney Resort.
