Zhang Jinming, who is in charge of the driverless car project, poses for a photo inside a driverless vehicle at Vanke's Building Research Centre in Dongguan, south China's Guangdong province, November 2, 2015. The country's largest property developer, China Vanke, is investing in its own robots to do certain jobs in the face of a labor shortage in the world's most populated country. This driverless car is among the robots that Vanke is aiming to bring in. Picture taken November 2, 2015. REUTERS/Tyrone Siu
