The world’s first virtual track train was unveiled on Friday in the city of Zhuzhou in central China’s Hunan Province.
The train, which is 32 meters long and 3.4 meters high, can accommodate 307 passengers and has a top speed of 70 kilometers per hour.
Instead of tracks, the train runs along white-dotted lines on the test ground, controlled by hundreds of sensors. The train also uses rubber tires, which makes the ride like riding the bus.
Its lithium titanate battery enables the train to run 25 kilometers after just 10 minutes of charging.

Which is the name of the music?
This is literally just a bus, but long.
Ah yes. Another useless contraption that will make the Chinese people more poor. Fix your economy.
1 minute of people being forced to ride a train by the Chinese government!
As interesting as the idea of having "virtual tracks" may be, the idea remains useless and a waste of money. You took a tram, removed its typical wheels, then mounted normal wheels (or how it would move on the road) and presented to the public as something innovative. It's more a joke that an innovation. What sense does it make to mount a steering wheel knowing that the vehicle will move on virtual tracks that will allow a planning of the route or how the vehicle should behave when it is in operation. Another attempt to be smart with an innovation that is not so innovative
Woah China, congrats! In the west we call it a BUS
It’s pretty much just a long bus
Cool bus I guess
tram point is that it uses steel wheels on steel tracks and it is energy efficent.
70kmh? Wtf that's so sloww asf. I would rather drive the a4 mallard than commute with a floating bus!
So basically a bus that looks like a tram… exactly what they have had in Malmö, Sweden for several years
Cool bus
Its a tram uneducated pigs
Ahhh tram basically just without track cost
Me: "How do you ride a virtual train if doesn't really exist? Do you have to imagine riding it?" lol
