Area preparing for self-driving cars

Lanes for self-driving cars will be built on a new freeway linking Beijing and Xiongan New Area in Hebei province.

The 100-kilometer freeway will be open to two-way traffic, with two of the eight lanes specially designed for autonomous vehicles, Beijing Daily reported, quoting Beijing Capital Highway Development Group Co.

Construction on the project will start this year and will include intelligent road infrastructure and smart-toll facilities.
