STL continues visit to Beijing with LegCo Panel on Transport (with photos)
**************************************************************************
     The Secretary for Transport and Logistics, Ms Mable Chan, together with the Legislative Council (LegCo) Panel on Transport, continued their visit to Beijing today (September 4). The Director of Highways, Mr Tony Yau, and the Commissioner for Transport, Miss Winnie Tse, also joined the visit.

     Ms Chan called on the Ministry of Transport (MOT) this morning and met with the Safety Director of MOT and Director General of the Transport Service Department of MOT, Mr Cai Tuanjie, to exchange views on issues including smart traffic, transport infrastructure, shipping and logistics.

     Ms Chan and the LegCo delegation later visited the Beijing Innovation Demonstration Zone for Coordinated Development of Smart City Infrastructure and Intelligent Connected Vehicles and two autonomous driving enterprises in Yizhuang, Beijing, and took test rides in autonomous vehicles (AVs) to experience in person the latest developments and real-world application of autonomous driving in the city.

     Ms Chan said, "The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government has been promoting the development of AVs in Hong Kong in an active and orderly manner through a multipronged approach by providing policy support and regulatory backing. Our development in autonomous driving is moving towards large-scale deployment of driverless AVs for commercial operation. In addition to the 'Air-Rail Intermodal Service' AV trial between Hong Kong West Kowloon Station of the Express Rail Link and Kowloon Station of the Airport Express, the ongoing fully driverless AV trial on the Airport Island marks another milestone in our advancement of autonomous driving. Beijing's experience in areas such as its safety management regime, commercial operation model and emergency response mechanism provides invaluable reference for Hong Kong in refining our policies on smart traffic and addressing the challenges posed by high-density traffic conditions."

     Ms Chan added that this visit to Beijing demonstrated the positive interaction between the executive and the legislature. She also took the opportunity to exchange views with the LegCo Members on various issues including smart traffic and road management.

     Ms Chan concluded the two-day visit to Beijing and will return to Hong Kong this evening.
