A driving school in southwest China’s Yunnan province recently opened a smart training center on July 17, where learner drivers can acquire skills through virtual reality driving simulators and smart training cars. According to the center, learner drivers no longer need to make appointments for learning how to drive, and can study independently without a driving instructor sitting nearby.
