Today, Apollo Go received the first fully driverless trial permit from Hong Kong's Transport Department, with the trial set to start July 27 on Airport Island.
This marks a milestone for autonomous mobility in Hong Kong: the city is about to begin its first Level 4 trial on public roads without an on-board safety operator, and the first fully driverless trial in any right-hand-drive market globally.
In just a year and a half, Apollo Go has expanded trials from the Airport Island to North Lantau, Kowloon East, and Hong Kong Island South, accumulating 240K+ km of safe driving.
