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

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!”
