The 1^st China Intelligent Industries Expo (CIIE) was held in China Beijing Agriculture Exhibition Hall September 16 to 18. Three micro intelligent cars were displayed on the Expo, which are co-developed by Yang Ming, Wang Bin from School of Electronic Information and Electrical Engineering (SEIEE) and Prof. Wang Chunxiang from School of Mechanical Engineering. The three vehicles show the audience how well the function of automatic parking can be achieved.

       Under guidance of the three teachers, Lu Zhengchen, a postgraduate from Department of Automation, Gu Feng, an undergraduate from Department of Computer Science and several other students made every effort in this summer vacation to overcome technical difficulties in order to make the display successful. The cars' excellent performance on the Expo attracted the audience and media's great interest and attention.

       The research on micro intelligent vehicle's automatic driving is enlightened by an important research plan supported by National Natural Science Funds. Sharing common interest in the intelligent car and intelligent driving, 11 research institutions including Tsinghua University and SJTU set up special research groups to co-develop new technologies in the intelligent vehicle. Since last May, six exchange activities have taken place for presentation and communication of progress in the phrasal sense. SJTU's research on intelligent vehicles has made remarkable contribution to the development of urban intelligent traffic.
