Beijing South Railway Station is a major transportation hub integrating railways, high-speed trains, subways, city trains, buses, and taxis, with a daily passenger flow of nearly 300,000. The newly designated autonomous driving routes cover two-way distances of 32 kilometers and 58.6 kilometers, respectively, reaching Beijing South Railway Station and including a 2.2 square kilometer testing support area. Additionally, dedicated autonomous driving parking spaces have been arranged in the station's multi-story parking facility.

AutoX is already conducting autonomous driving tests in the area and plans to offer RoboTaxi services to passengers by the end of the year. The service, accessible through the AutoX App, aims to provide safe, premium, chauffeur-level transportation.
