DeepRoute.ai

DeepRoute.ai is a self-driving technology company headquartered in Shenzhen and Fremont, California and is focused on advancing urban logistics and popularizing robotaxis.[1][2]

DeepRoute.ai has partnered with Caocao Mobility, Dongfeng Motors, and Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle to test self-driving vehicles.[3] The company began self-driving robotaxi service in Wuhan in April 2021, and the company publicly launched robotaxi service in Shenzhen in July 2021.[2]

In addition to robotaxi technology (DeepRoute-INJOY), DeepRoute.ai has also developed a self-driving solution for medium-duty trucks (DeepRoute-LINK).[4] The company has received a Passenger Carry Permit from the California Public Utilities Commission.[5]

Its L4 Full Stack Self-Driving System, DeepRoute-Sense, was named a CES 2020 Innovation Awards Honoree in the category of Vehicle Intelligence & Transportation.[6][7] It includes a lightweight set-top box and sensor-fusion calibration service, consisting of GNSS, eight vehicle cameras, three lidars and a series of other sensors to help correspondence and data synchronization between the controllers.[8][9] In December 2021, DeepRoute.ai announced DeepRoute-Driver 2.0, a production-ready Level 4 system comprising five solid-state lidar sensors, eight cameras, a proprietary computing system and an optional millimeter-wave radar.[10]

DeepRoute.ai secured $50 million in a Series Pre-A led by Fosun RZ Capital, the venture capital arm of Chinese conglomerate Fosun International in September 2019.[11] The company also raised a Series B funding round of $300 million in September 2021, which included Alibaba, Jeneration Capital, Yunqi Partners and Geely as investors.[2] DeepRoute.ai’s CEO is Maxwell Zhou, who led autonomous driving projects at Baidu, Texas Instruments and DJI.[12]
