An 11.3 km Tianjin bus route has run cloud-controlled since February 2024, with smart lights giving it priority at all 19 crossings — a safety officer rides along, but nobody drives. A district-wide phase 2 is still just a plan.

The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went.

On 27 February 2024, Baodi district opened Tianjin's first intelligent-connected-vehicle demonstration corridor: an 11.3 km public route linking Baodi's high-speed rail station to the Beijing–Tianjin Zhongguancun Science and Technology Town. A cloud-control system coordinates sensing, planning and decisions for the vehicles, and all 19 intersections along the route carry intelligent traffic-light control that gives the demonstration bus priority. The bus completes the five-stop route in 18 minutes at up to 70 km/h with a safety officer aboard but no driver at the wheel. Baodi's own 2025 government work report describes a planned phase-2, vehicle-road-cloud expansion; as of a September 2025 citywide count, 128 autonomous vehicles from companies including Pony.ai were operating across Tianjin's open-road network, without district-level breakdowns for Baodi specifically.
