TREE NEWS update: Shanghai’s draft taxi regulations, published for public comment, propose promoting the safe application of autonomous driving technology in the taxi industry in an orderly manner, with transport and public security departments stepping up guidance and services. The draft also calls for using big data, blockchain and artificial intelligence to expand application scenarios and raise the digital and intelligent level of taxi services and management.
Shanghai drafts taxi rules to promote autonomous driving
The significance here is less the taxi rulebook itself than the city's willingness to name blockchain and AI as public-service infrastructure rather than as a crypto-adjacent curiosity — a framing that matters for RWA and enterprise-blockchain builders watching Chinese municipal procurement signals. Because this is a draft open for public comment, its practical reach is still undetermined. What's worth watching is whether the language survives into final rules, and whether other cities mirror the approach.
