Later next year, Beijing will start the country's first driverless (无人驾驶) subway trains. The Yanfang Line-connecting part of Fangshan district to the city center-will be the first to try out driverless technology.
The Beijing public transportation authority says the new trains will make the metro system better. They will have an upgraded (升级的 ) operating system. They will reach 80km per hour and carry more than l ,200 passengers.
The development of driverless technology is opening up in other areas of transport. Driverless cars have long been a dream for many. And in the past few years，innovation(创新) has speeded up. Big car companies，including Volkswagon and Toyota, are competing with other companies, such as Google.
