"The intelligent auto industry in Lingang is a young industry and the industry of young people," said Wu Xiaohua, deputy Party secretary of Lingang. "In the future, we will continue to attract more high-quality automotive electronics and software projects to settle in the special area, and jointly create a 'full chain, full scenario, and full element' intelligent automobile ecological city.
