Track; not yet
- Why
- The trial is a scheduled, government-backed first for public riders in Hong Kong and builds on a visible permit ladder (Hong Kong zone expansion since Dec 2024, June 2025 Tung Chung testing approval, July 2026 first fully driverless trial permit on Airport Island). But this specific event is a 14-day, ticketed, operator-supervised pilot with 600 single-ride tickets, so it says little about unsupervised scale, unit economics or fleet reliability, and the operator had a nearly 100-vehicle outage in Wuhan this year.
- Next
- Check post-trial outcomes after 3 Nov 2026 (rider feedback, incident reports, Transport Department statements) and whether the Tung Chung route moves to a driverless or regular permit.
