necessary to invest heavily in innovation and technology.
The Science and Technology Park also expressed that

it will develop a smart region for research on the latest
technologies with AV being one of them.

Apart from the efforts in the academic and research fields,
the government should also keep autonomous driving
in focus. For example, the smart lampposts mentioned
by the Chief Executive in the Policy Address, should
be considered a key device to release and receive

212 spatial data, and play an important part in the common
spatial data infrastructure (CSDI). Due to the high density
of buildings in Hong Kong, the locating system may

experience significant errors and inaccuracies, smart
lampposts can give accurate location-based data, together
with the wider application of the IoT and 5G in the future;
these are all fundamental for the feasibility of operating
AVs.

Furthermore, the location-based data received can be
further aggregated with data from smartphone users and

shared on the CSDI for easy access from the public and
