Lantau

Lantau Island, part of Hong Kong, is currently in the news for several reasons. Firstly, it is linked to a recent HK$10 million knifepoint robbery, with one suspect arrested in northern Lantau. Secondly, it's a key location for advancing autonomous vehicle technology; authorities have approved expanded testing routes from the airport island to Sunny Bay and Tung Chung town centre. This marks a significant step in Hong Kong's efforts to implement driverless vehicle applications. Finally, while not directly on Lantau, CLP Power, the city's largest power supplier, is expanding smart meter availability to subdivided flats meeting new government living standards, a relevant development given Lantau's residential areas and Hong Kong's overall housing situation. These events highlight Lantau's diverse role in crime, technological advancement, and infrastructure development within Hong Kong.
