Aug 13 — Meituan (03690.HK) released the first formal version of a rider
"wait-at-lights" stopwatch and has begun road testing in Beijing. The delivery
safety tech team ran internal tests on select Beijing roads in 1H and built a
prototype; the pilot is now live on roads in Chaoyang, Tongzhou and the Beijing
Economic-Technological Development Zone where traffic data is integrated. The
feature will separately accumulate red-light waiting time and extend delivery
ETAs accordingly. Meituan said more than 20 other cities are evaluating the
feature; qualified cities will be rolled out progressively.
