This smart train, known as an Autonomous Rail Rapid Transit can travel up to speeds of 43 miles per hour.
Train manufacturer dons CRRC Corporation began work on the contemporary technology in 2013, reports the Daily Mail.
GettyIt is projected to be rolled out into other cities next year.
The trains hold 300 passengers (900 if people remove their bags from available seats! Jokes).
They are said to have a life span of around 25 years, with a charging time of just 10 minutes.
