In 2025, the HarmonyOS Intelligent Mobility Pavilion made its debut as an independent exhibition hall, showcasing coordinated development across its technology ecosystem. The BYD Exhibition Hall offered a panoramic display of its brand portfolio and cutting-edge technologies. Meanwhile, the future mobility space station exhibition area systematically outlined an integrated air-and-ground mobility ecosystem.

At present, Shenzhen has opened 2,101 kilometers of roads to intelligent connected vehicles (ICV) testing and demonstration, providing solid support for the steady advancement of forward-looking policies that enable fully driverless testing. At the same time, the city has continued to strengthen its innovation foundations through sustained investment.
