Meanwhile, as the benchmark of commercial operation of self-driving vehicles in China, Apolong uses real operation models to demonstrate leading achievements of commercial operation of self-driving vehicles in China and the practical sample of industrial upgrade driven by digital application at the Intelligent Park of Feifeng Mountain, an experience site of digital application at this summit.

Exhibition and test rides show its considerable charm.

Apolong marks the world's first mass-produced level-4 self-driving vehicle, and a pioneer in the field of level-4 self-driving vehicles in China. Since the launch of 100 vehicles in July 2018, Apolong has started demonstrative operations at major events such as the first Belt and Road Energy Ministerial Meeting and 2019 Boao Forum for Asia, and commercial operations in 21 regions of China, including Haidian Park in Beijing, Shougang Park in Beijing, Xiong'an New Area in Hebei, Phase III of Xiamen Software Park in Fujian, Comprehensive Experimental Zone at Pingtan, Fujian, Wuhan Development Zone, and Country Garden Sci-Tech Town at Tonghu, Huizhou. Its leading self-driving capability has been fully verified, ushering in a new era of self-driving transport.

Huang Chun, Chairman of Fujian Motor Industry Group, and Nenad Popović, Minister of Innovation and Technological Development of Serbia, visit and experience Apolong.

The site of test rides. "King Long Apolong" fully simulates a closed scene with a speedway of 600 meters, automatic pick-up and drop -off points, curves, straight roads, speed bumps, etc. The site of test rides. Apolong, without any human intervention, achieves perfect self-driving operations, including starting, obstacle avoidance, making turns, deceleration and braking.

The test rides have once again enjoyed attention and participation of people from all walks of life, becoming a main focus of this summit. Nearly 300 people are attracted to take Apolong to experience the intelligent transport on the afternoon of the opening day of the summit. During the summit, thousands of people have booked test rides, and the venue is bustling with test riders.

Automatic vehicles at scenic area show leading outcomes of digital application.

The Intelligent Park of Feifeng Mountain, as the digital application scene of the summit, is a brand-new high-tech park with intelligent characteristics, and Apolong represents the leading characteristic.

As an ideal place for sports, amusement and leisure, the park in May is surrounded by green mountains, and boasts blue water, birds and flowers. The park's square is connected to the lake circuit track, and the mountain circuit track run through the forest and valleys. Distinct from others, the park, as a pioneer, introduces intelligent and high-tech equipment, and integrates a cloud management platform, networking technology and AI to achieve completely intelligent services in the park. For instance, the AR Tai Chi master, the AI physical test, the intelligent tour guide, and automatic pick-up and drop -off of Apolong around the park, all help tourists and citizens to experience different feelings and charm brought about by intelligent technologies.

Apolong was officially launched and put into service at the Intelligent Park of Feifeng Mountain on April 21.

As the first intelligent park in Fujian, the Intelligent Park of Feifeng Mountain represents the real-scenario display of digital achievements of the summit. Leaders, guests and people from the press who attend this summit visit and experience the park, and highly recognize its achievements and value driven by intelligent innovation. Leaders and guests praise the intelligent, smooth and comfortable riding experience of Apolong, and guests say, "commercial operation of self-driving vehicles in certain scenes such as scenic spots stands for not only the commercial prospect of self-driving operation, but also upgrade and transformation driven by this. This park indicates that the future of scenic spots has great room for imagination."

CCTV-2 is making a feature story

Over the past year, King Long, together with partners, has made unremitting efforts to push forward the self-driving industry and fulfilled commercial operation of Chinese self-driving vehicles.
