Four driverless electric vans successfully ended a 8,000-mile (13,000-kilometer) test drive from Italy to China - a modern-day version of Marco Polo's journey around the world - with their arrival at the Shanghai Expo on Thursday.
The vehicles, equipped with four solar-powered laser scanners and seven video cameras that work together to detect and avoid obstacles, are part of an experiment aimed at improving road safety and advancing automotive technology.
