Shenzhen is a world leader in electric vehicles and autonomous driving technology. Companies like AutoX, Pony.ai, and Baidu's Apollo operate fully driverless robotaxis on public roads in designated zones — and you can ride in one.

As a foreigner, hailing a robotaxi can be tricky due to app registration and language barriers. That's where I come in. I'll guide you through the entire process — from downloading the app to selecting your route — so you can experience the future of urban transportation firsthand.

This is a truly unique Shenzhen experience that you can't get in most cities around the world. The ride is smooth, safe, and unforgettable.

What You'll Do

  • Download and register on the robotaxi app (with guidance)
  • Hail a self-driving car from a designated pickup point
  • Ride through Shenzhen streets with no driver at the wheel
  • Take photos and videos of the futuristic interior
  • Learn about China's autonomous driving ecosystem

What's Included

  • App download and registration assistance
  • Route planning and pickup point guidance
  • Full ride-along with translation and explanation

What to Bring

  • Passport (may be needed for app registration)
  • Phone with camera

Nancy's Insider Tip

Sit in the back seat for the best photos — the empty driver's seat and steering wheel moving on its own make for incredible content!
