The first batch of the sweeper cars will be introduced into colleges and universities of Inner Mongolia, including Inner Mongolia Normal University, Inner Mongolia University, Inner Mongolia Business & Trade Vocational College, and Inner Mongolia Electronic Information Vocational Technical College.

With many highly efficient cleaning methods integrated into one, the self-driving Woxiaobai does not only save on manpower, but also performs cleaning tasks efficiently.
