Hong Kong to expand driverless vehicle testing at 3 locations this year

Vehicles will be trialled at SkyCity, Kai Tak development area and extension of existing North Lantau project, transport secretary says

Hong Kong will expedite its push into the autonomous driving sector, with plans to expand vehicle testing to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge Port and the Kai Tak development area, the transport chief has said.

Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan said on Sunday three autonomous driving projects would enter the testing phase this year as announced in last week’s policy address.

Driverless vehicles would be trialled at SkyCity between the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge Port and Airport Island and the Kai Tak development area covering Kowloon City and Kwun Tong, she said.

The third would be an extension of the current North Lantau project, connecting Airport Island and Tung Chung, Chan added.
