Shanghai Construction Group to build first phase of Tesla's Shanghai plant

A Shanghai city government official said that they expect Tesla's vehicle assembly facility to be completed in May this year.
The crash renews questions about the driver-assistance system's ability to detect hazards and has sparked concerns about the safety of systems that can perform driving tasks for extended stretches of time with little or no human intervention, but which cannot completely replace human drivers.
State-owned Shanghai Construction Group (SCG) will build the first phase of US electric carmaker Tesla’s factory in Shanghai, a news portal reported.
Xu Jiandong, a vice-president at SCG, was quoted by Shanghai Observer as saying that the company would fully cooperate with Tesla to achieve its objectives.
The Shanghai Observer is operated by the Jiefang Daily newspaper, which is in turn run by China’s ruling Communist Party’s Shanghai committee.
Reuters reported in December that several firms, including SCG, were taking part in the bidding.
