JingChi is developing a complete Level 4+ autonomous vehicle where the on-vehicle hardware and software can handle
all driving tasks within its operational design domain (please see below). JingChi received the autonomous vehicle
testing permit from the California DMV in June 2017 and has already conducted significant testing on public roads
without any incidents.
On March23, 2018 JingChi applied for the "Test Vehicles Designed to Operate Without a Driver in the Vehicle" permit
from the DMV. With this permit, JingChi will begin operating autonomous vehicles without a driver behind the wheel
on public roads solely for technology development and testing purposes. The vehicles will not be deployed to the
general public for commercial purposes or for a fee. This notification and attached materials serves to inform local
authorities of the relevant information regarding JingChi's driverless vehicle testing.
Safety is of utmost concern when testing an autonomous vehicle, and JingChi will take all necessary precautions to
ensure autonomous and driverless technologies are developed and tested in a safe and responsible manner. JingChi
will initially test the driverless
at low
lots and on
I
with
little traffic

The driverless vehicles are 2017 Lincoln MKZ hybrid vehicles that were purchased as brand new from a dealership and
then retrofitted with sensors, computing hardware, and software to support autonomous driving with and without a
safety driver. The retrofit preserves all factory installed safety features and meets all NHTSA FMVSS mandated safety
requirements. The vehicles can be driven like a normal car by disengaging autonomous mode at any time.

Public road testing is slated to
•
in a non-residential area near the company's headquarters in northern Sunnyvale. Testing may occur on any day
of the week and at any time throughout the day, including weekends and night time, with safety of the passengers and
surrounding agents being the highest priority. The following attachment lists the streets that driverless testing will occur
on. If there any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact JingChi at any time.

Driverless Vehicle Communication and Control
JingChi is developing a complete Level 4+ autonomous vehicle where the on-vehicle hardware
and software can handle all driving tasks within the operational design domain. The monitoring
and remote-control functionality are safety features that ensure the autonomous vehicle is
behaving properly and to execute corrective measures if there is a deviation from planned testing
behavior.
For the purposes of this document, "driverless vehicle" refers to the JingChi driverless autonomous
vehicle, which are Lincoln MI<Z hybrid passenger vehicles retrofitted with sensors, computing
hardware, and software that enable the vehicles to drive autonomously and also be remotely
monitored and controlled.
The retrofit preserves all FMVSS mandated safety features (e.g. airbags, safety belts, brake & gas
pedals, steering wheel, mirrors, etc.) and does not compromise the structural integrity or
operational safety of the vehicle. Driverless vehicles can still be safely operated as a normal
passenger vehicle.

Remote Operator
JingChi remote operators will continuously monitor the status of the driverless vehicle, and if
necessary, control it remotely to ensure the safety of passengers and the agents in the
surrounding environment.

A rigorous training process ensures each operator understands the capabilities and limitations of
the autonomous vehicle and the remote operation technology. Since the driverless vehicles are
autonomous vehicles upgraded with remote monitoring and control capabilities, the operators
drivers that are
must first undergo training and become
autonomous vehicle
licensed
the California DMV.
A detailed outline of the remote operator training process is attached.

First Responder Interaction Plan
"First responder" refers to law enforcement, fire department, and emergency medical personnel.
A digital copy of this first responder interaction plan along with other information regarding
driverless testing is accessible through the JingChi website (wwwjingchi.ai).
JingChi driverless autonomous vehicles (hereby referred to as "driverless vehicle") are Lincoln MKZ
hybrid passenger vehicles purchased from a dealership as brand new and then retrofitted with
autonomous technology. The autonomous technology integ'rates components supplied by third
party vendors with JingChi's own hardware and software.
The retrofit preserves all FMVSS mandated safety features (e.g. airbags, seat belts, brake &
gas pedals, steering wheel, mirrors, etc.) that a driver would need and does not compromise
the structural integrity or operational safety of the vehicle. Even after the retrofit with
autonomous and remote-control technology, the driverless vehicles can still be operated like a
normal passenger vehicle.

Operational Design Domain

Driverless Vehicle Interaction
Since the vehicle is an "off-the-shelf" hybrid vehicle, first responders should take all necessary
precaution in line when such a vehicle is driven by a typical human driver. In the event that
JingChi's driverless vehicle is stopped in the middle of the road or is involved in an accident or
traffic violation, law enforcement and first responders should take the following precautions.

there is a large
computer monitor on the front passenger side that visualizes sensor information. At the
top of this visualization is another indicator that shows if the vehicle is in autonomous or
manual mode.

2. Manually disengage autonomous mode.
There are three ways to manually disengage: jerk the steering wheel, step on the gas or
brake pedal, press the big red button next to the driver seat
Upon a manual disengage there should be an auditory notification (assuming the vehicle's
playback volume is loud enough) along with a change in the indicator lights and the sensor
information visualization display.
3. Put the vehicle in parking mode and turn the engine off.
If the engine is still running, turn off the engine by first putting the vehicle in parking mode
and then press the ignition switch (located above the park button).
4. It is now safe to tow the vehicle or move it to the side of the road, assuming there are no
passengers in the vehicle and there are no other safety risks associated with a traditional
hybrid vehicle.

Vehicle Documentation
Documents located in the glove compartment of each driverless vehicle contains the owner
information, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance in the event of a collision or traffic
violation. First responders can also call JingChi's safety operators hotline at

Remote Operator Training Outline
This document will cover the duties and training regimen for a remote operator. The remote
operator's role is to be the last line of defense in a driverless vehicle when no safety driver is
present. The remote operator will continuously monitor the location and status of a driverless
vehicle and be the point of contact for any passe
in the vehicle. The remote
will
also remotely take control of a driverless vehicle
whatever reason the autonomous software fails.
Safety is top priority for a remote operator, operating the vehicle remotely should be treated as
driving the car in person. There should be absolutely no distractions for the Remote rmAr~tn
. should be in use when the car is
driven.

Remote Operator Prerequisites:
• Valid driver's license and AVT permit.
• Safety driver with a minimum of 100 hours experience driving in autonomous mode.
• Satisfactory completion of remote operator training.

Training Outline

-

A classroom lead by an experienced operator that introduces the trainee to the remote
