A new pilot program in China allows robotaxis from four different companies to travel between four districts. The districts have agreed to a standard regulatory framework, which saves self-driving companies from having to implement different rules for each district. The pilot program also makes robotaxis more useful to riders because they can travel between districts. This program is part of a larger effort to coordinate development in the Greater Bay Area and will allow self-driving vehicles to travel to airports and train stations across different cities. The companies involved in the pilot include **Pony.ai, Baidu’s Apollo Go, Chenqi Technology, and Cowa Robot**. This is an example of co-opetition where competing companies cooperate to achieve a common goal.
