The Lin-gang Special Area integrates ports, highways, railways, airports, and inland waterway transportation, making it a suitable environment for the automated driving industry. 

In recent years, a number of internationally competitive enterprises with independent core technology have moved to the Lin-gang Special Area, including SAIC New Energy, Tesla, TuSimple, Horizon Robotics, SenseTime, and etc.

Lin-gang is suitable for large-scale application and demonstration due to its policies, geopolitical situation, strong industrial foundation, test demonstration foundation, and more.

In addition, with an open mind and an international vision, the "Information Flying Fish" island in Lin-gang Special Area is determined to become a hub for the digital economy and information technology.
