Mountain highway in China to test driverless cars

A mountainous stretch of highway in eastern Shandong, China, is to be dedicated to self-driving car testing. The testing of connected self-driving vehicles is reportedly part of the country’s efforts to challenge the US in autonomous driving technology. The South China Morning Post reports that the local Qilu Transportation Development Group earmarked a 26 kilometre-long highway for autonomous driving and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, in cooperation with partners including Chinese telecom gear provider Huawei Technologies and China Mobile.
