Tuesday marks the first day that China is excluded from OpenAI's API service. Despite the obvious short-term impact on Chinese developers, this move is also expected to encourage Chinese companies to reduce their reliance on OpenAI and transition to domestic models, observers noted.

US tech firm OpenAI has restricted access to its artificial intelligence (AI) models through its application programming interface (API) service in China since Tuesday.

Concerns about the safety of autonomous driving and the potential gradual replacement of traditional taxis by driverless ones have been raised following an accident involving a driverless ride-hailing car in central China's Hubei Province. Industry observers said the industry is still in a nascent phase and that more support needs to be rolled out to address challenges brought by the development of driverless ride-hailing vehicles.
