Zhang and more than 40 testers in his department have gained a stronger sense of professional identity as their work has taken on a wider scope.
"The system functions and performance of intelligent connected vehicles are directly related to the safety of passengers, other road users and pedestrians. The new profession further clarifies the potential of intelligent driving in the future smart mobility field. I believe our work will bring more possibilities for the promotion and application of smart connected vehicles," Zhang says.
