A Long March-8 Y6 carrier rocket carrying 18 low Earth orbit satellites blasts off from the Hainan commercial spacecraft launch site in Wenchang, south China's Hainan Province, March 12, 2025. A group of 18 low Earth orbit satellites was launched aboard the Long March-8 Y6 carrier rocket from the Hainan commercial spacecraft launch site in south China's Hainan Province in the early hours of Wednesday. The satellites, the fifth group of its kind, have entered the preset orbit successfully, according to the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC). They will constitute China's commercial internet constellation Spacesail.

Pony.ai, an autonomous driving technology developer in China, recently launched four autonomous driving demonstration routes in Guangzhou. These routes connect the city's central business district with Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, and Guangzhou South Railway Station -- two of southern China's major transportation hubs. Autonomous taxis, trucks, and logistics services are growing rapidly in Guangzhou. As of January this year, 1,298 smart connected vehicle testing roads and 10 high-speed test roads were operational. The value of China's self-driving taxi service industry is expected to reach 1.3 trillion yuan (about 179.4 billion U.S. dollars) by 2030, accounting for 60 percent of the country's ride-hailing market at that time, according to forecasts from global consultancy firm IHS Markit.
