In recent years, Kangbashi district in Ordos has utilized its strengths in technology, infrastructure, and industrial synergy to drive innovation in intelligent connected vehicles.

The district has completed a comprehensive upgrade of roadside smart facilities across key roads, achieved full 5G network coverage, and built 150 smart intersections and 60 holographic perception intersections. Over 2,500 roadside smart units have also been installed to support Level-4 autonomous driving and vehicle-road coordination.

These systems – including video cameras, millimeter-wave radars, roadside communication devices, and edge computing units – feed real-time data into Ordos’ unified cloud control platform, enabling full-spectrum perception of vehicles, roads, pedestrians, and the environment and achieving deep integration between transportation data and intelligent management.

To ensure information security, Kangbashi relies on the Ordos Cloud Computing Industrial Park for the localized deployment of its integrated "vehicle-road-cloud" computing center.

A robust end-to-end data security system has also been established, with a 99 percent interception rate for tampering attempts and a 98 percent accuracy rate for data transmission between vehicles, infrastructure, and cloud systems.

Forty-two autonomous vehicles are currently in operation across multiple service scenarios, including public transport, taxis, airport and station shuttles, sightseeing, cleaning, vending, and logistics.

These vehicles have completed over 200,000 kilometers of combined test mileage, serving more than 520,000 passengers. Along Kangbashi's 6-kilometer central scenic axis, four autonomous sightseeing shuttles have carried nearly 47,000 passengers over 58,000 km. Meanwhile, a dedicated autonomous logistics route connecting the Kangbashi North Distribution Center with downtown has deployed 16 low-speed delivery vehicles, which have handled 1.2 million parcels.

To further boost industry collaboration, Ordos has established the Ordos Intelligent Connected Vehicle Innovation Center Expert Committee – supported by Tsinghua University's Suzhou Automotive Research Institute – and launched the Ordos ICV Industry Alliance, attracting a range of leading enterprises like KargoBot.
