Unmanned applications are rapidly scaling up across Shenzhen's Luohu District, where driverless scenes are moving from concept to daily life.

The district's first L4 autonomous bus route-B888-has begun full-time operation, becoming China's first such service in a core urban area. Built on intelligent-connected technologies, it marks the first systematic integration of L4 autonomy into commercial public transport.

Running from Luohu Checkpoint through major commercial landmarks, the driverless shuttle provides trilingual services including English, Chinese, and Cantonese.

Cross-border passengers can book rides via both the Shenzhen "Shenba Mobility" mini-program and Hong Kong's KMB 1933 app, enabling seamless travel between the two cities.

Autonomous logistics vehicles from companies including JD.com, White Rhino and SF Express are also active on Luohu's streets, navigating traffic and delivering goods to commercial zones.

As part of Shenzhen's "20+8" industrial clusters and the city's intelligent-connected vehicle plan, Luohu is advancing unmanned applications across the full chain-from passenger travel to logistics.

The district is also upgrading sanitation with 51 unmanned sweepers, 20 smart washing vehicles and more than 200 multifunctional cleaning carts. Across 13 demonstration zones, 71 L4-equipped cleaning vehicles have already covered nearly 60,000 km this year.

Unmanned services are further reshaping daily consumption. Shenzhen's first AI unmanned noodle bar has opened at Fairy Lake Botanical Garden, while drone delivery is bringing drinks and snacks to parks within minutes, forming an emerging 15-minute aerial life circle.

Luohu is also advancing low-altitude logistics. Shenzhen's first jewelry-transport drone route has launched between Shuibei and Longgang district's Lilang park, cutting transport time in half. A new cooperation with SF Express will expand smart logistics for high-value goods.

Luohu plans to build drone airports across all 10 subdistricts, positioning the district at the forefront of innovative consumption scenes and new-quality productive forces.
