Question

The Yanfang line, Beijing’s first driverless subway line connecting the city’s southwest suburbs to its central urban district started its first pilot run on Wednesday morning.

It is also the capital city’s first subway line that is fully automatic, and fully equipped（装配）with domestic technology.

The line is expected to officially open to citizens at the end of next year.

In the event of an emergency, passengers riding on the subway trains are able to contact the control center through the wireless intercom（对讲机）devices that have been set up on every carriage. The camera in the carriage can automatically transmit（传输） images back to the control center.
