With a total area of 87.47 hectares, the testing site will provide services in ICV research, testing and recognition. It is the only T5 intelligent connected vehicle testing site in the world to be equipped with an F2 race track and can host car racing events.
The testing site is said to include the majority of road scenarios and can imitate extreme weather conditions during car testing activities.
