Pilot driving schools may use in-car AI teaching equipment that takes over part or all of the instructor's guidance on closed training grounds, Shanghai's transport commission said

Evidence stage
PilotSmall-scale trial in a real setting. Tells us the deployment conditions are being tested, not that they hold — so one pilot is never enough on its own; two independent ones are.
Tasks this bears on
Basic control on the training ground
Teaching starting, steering, reversing and parking manoeuvres on a closed training ground before a pupil goes on the road.
Automating✓ Evidence-backed
Where this applies
Shanghai. The transport commission's pilot notice defines in-car intelligent teaching equipment, used for the basic and training-ground part of the national syllabus, that partly or fully takes the place of the instructor's in-car guidance. Pupils may drive such cars alone on a separate, closed training ground; the school must keep safety monitors with instructor qualifications at a live monitoring centre and on-site instructors equal to 20% of the equipped cars, at least 2. Each equipped car adds one unit to the school's approved training capacity. Only schools with at least 50 training cars and the top quality rating may apply; the pilot runs to 30 June 2026 and the notice reports no results.
What this means
A regulator is testing ground training in which the pupil drives alone and the machine gives the guidance, with fewer instructors on site.
What it does not yet show
A pilot for selected schools on closed grounds only; it reports no results and says nothing about public roads.
What you can check
Open the Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission's notice of 11 July 2024 on intelligent teaching equipment in driver training and find "部分或完全替代教练员随车指导".
Does it change the assessment?
No. The impact index is never moved by a single event. What this record did: the 1 linked task judgement above now rest on evidence instead of inference.
