Recently, a fleet of smart shuttle buses has been introduced in the Linkong Business Park in Shanghai Hongqiao International Central Business District, providing a convenient solution for the "last mile" commute issue.
These buses operate daily between Songhong Road Station on Metro Line 2, South Qilianshan Road Station on Metro Line 13, and the office building of Yixin, and are operated by Yixin, a company engaged in internet auto finance trading in the Linkong Business Park.

The buses, featuring a round and square shape with a creamy white color scheme, offer passengers a comfortable riding experience thanks to their spacious and soft seats and large windows. Equipped with the "Mogo Auto Brain" developed by Mogo.ai, these buses utilize L4 autonomous driving technology and vehicle-road-cloud coordination. They possess eight solid-state lidar sensors and various other sensors, with a perception range of up to 200 meters and a response time of just 0.1 seconds.
Named "Xin Fleet", a total of 10 buses are currently in use during a trial period. There are plans to increase the number of buses, expand coverage to more enterprises, and gradually introduce fully autonomous driving technology.
