In January 2024, Qubit learned that Antu AutoX unmanned RoboTaxi was approved to carry out remote testing of intelligent connected cars with no driver in the main driving position in Guangzhou, covering all open autonomous driving test roads in Guangzhou.

At this point, AutoX RoboTaxi’s unmanned city has expanded to the fifth city: Guangzhou.

Previously, AutoX has obtained fully driverless licenses without safety officers and conducted driverless driving in four international first-tier cities, namely Shenzhen, Silicon Valley, Shanghai and Beijing.

In the future, AutoX will increase testing efforts around the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area economic circle, connect Shenzhen and Guangzhou, and open up the single largest operational domain of RoboTaxi, the largest in the country, to truly lay a solid foundation for the large-scale commercialization of L4 autonomous driving.

Self-driving RoboTaxi enters Guangzhou

As one of the first batch of autonomous driving license holders, AutoX’s autonomous driving journey was officially launched in Guangdong a few years ago.

In December 2018, AutoX became the first company in Guangdong Province to officially obtain an urban public road test license through the examination.

In June 2019, Guangzhou began to issue the first batch of autonomous driving road test licenses, and AutoX became one of the first batch of license recipients in Guangzhou.

In 2020, AutoX officially established a R&D center in Guangzhou, focusing on the research and development of software and hardware for L4 level autonomous driving. At the same time, it also officially established the Guangzhou RoboTaxi test operation center.

At present, the AutoX Guangzhou total autonomous driving operation area has covered the core area with the highest population density in Guangzhou, spanning Haizhu District, Huangpu District, Panyu District, University Town and other areas.

In 2020, AutoX has achieved the country's first "fully unmanned vehicle" (no one in the front and back seats) in Shenzhen, and China's largest single connected fully driverless ODD .

Following the four "unmanned" cities of Shenzhen, Silicon Valley, Shanghai and Beijing, Guangzhou is now added to AutoX's true L4 driverless territory. Before the Guangzhou remote test license was issued, AutoX already had experience in fully unmanned testing and even commercialization in many places around the world, with an autonomous driving operating area of ​​more than 2,000 square kilometers, of which the fully unmanned operating area covers an area of ​​300+ square kilometers.

As Wenchu ​​said, AutoX is ready to connect Shenzhen and Guangzhou to further expand its future L4 level fully unmanned commercial operation territory.

To achieve this goal, AutoX established a Guangzhou R&D and operations center a few years ago to ensure the efficient dispatch and operation of driverless fleets.

The AutoX Guangzhou R&D Center is located in Haizhu District, the core CBD urban area with many high-rise buildings. It is a stone's throw away from the city's central landmark Canton Tower "Xiaomanyao" and is adjacent to the headquarters of technology companies such as WeChat, Alibaba, Vipshop, and Xiaomi, as well as the world-famous Canton Fair. pavilion. As a representative company of L4 autonomous driving, AutoX independently develops the most advanced artificial intelligence technology and creates a solution that integrates software and hardware of the core brain of autonomous driving. It is already a leading enterprise in the world-class artificial intelligence and digital economy pilot zone in Guangzhou Pazhou.

The newly relocated office of the AutoX Guangzhou R&D Center is located on the highest floor of the building, with a 360-degree view of Guangzhou city. It will be officially put into use in early 2022. When night falls, the lights emitted from the R&D center become one of the most beautiful scenery on the south bank of the Pearl River, where ancient history, traditional culture and modern technological innovation complement each other.

Self-driving tests and commercial operations in many places, leading the way in L4 self-driving

Currently, AutoX is the only company in the domestic market that focuses on L4 driverless RoboTaxi, and is currently the largest player on the RoboTaxi track. It has six major R&D centers around the world and has assembled more than 1,000 of the world's top autonomous driving talents. . AutoX has continued to lead L4 RoboTaxi in terms of operating area, fleet size, team size and other dimensions.

In addition to Guangzhou, AutoX has conducted long-term, large-scale driverless testing and commercial operations in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Silicon Valley, and Beijing.

AutoX Shenzhen fully unmanned RoboTaxi + commercial charging

In January 2021, AutoX realized the country's first "fully unmanned" RoboTaxi (no one in front or back of the car) in Pingshan District, Shenzhen, and was opened to the public, becoming the only one in China and the second in the world to be truly unmanned. The company RoboTaxi runs. To date, AutoX's fully unmanned RoboTaxi has been operating for three full years and has maintained a perfect zero-accident record with its excellent technical strength.

In May of this year, Shenzhen issued the first batch of fully unmanned commercial pilot qualifications for intelligent connected cars to AutoX, allowing AutoX to carry out fully unmanned RoboTaxi commercial toll operations in Pingshan District, with a fully unmanned driving area of ​​168 square kilometers. It is the largest single connected fully driverless ODD in China .

In Shenzhen, AutoX's fully unmanned RoboTaxi pilot is first launched in Pingshan District, Shenzhen. It is a true commercial demonstration operation of fully unmanned RoboTaxi - not only is there no safety officer in the main driver's seat in the car, but there is no one in the passenger seat or in the back seat. In addition to Pingshan District, AutoX is also conducting large-scale autonomous driving on-road tests in downtown areas such as Nanshan, Baoan, and Futian.

AutoX Shanghai fully unmanned RoboTaxi + charging demonstration application

As early as March 22 this year, the Shanghai Municipal Government approved AutoX to become one of the first companies to carry out unmanned testing in Shanghai. It was allowed to carry out driverless RoboTaxi testing within the open roads of Pudong Intelligent Connected Vehicles in the core urban area of ​​​​the city, winning the first prize in China. The first driverless RoboTaxi in the core urban area of ​​a first-tier city takes the lead.

In April this year, AutoX obtained the first batch of L4 autonomous driving Robotaxi charging demonstration application licenses in Shanghai. AutoX RoboTaxi has been launched on the Xiangdao Travel App, and has launched RoboTaxi paid services to the public. The first launch covers Jiading District, Shanghai, and the public has already paid to use the RoboTaxi service. Users in Shanghai can call AutoX's self-driving RoboTaxi in real time through the Xiangdao Travel App and pay for safe, high-end, private car-level RoboTaxi travel services.

In July this year, the Beijing High-Level Autonomous Driving Demonstration Zone Office officially issued a license notice for unmanned road testing in the Beijing Intelligent Connected Vehicle Policy Pilot Zone to AutoX. AutoX’s RoboTaxi has been approved to operate in the 225 square kilometers of the demonstration zone. Unmanned road testing is being carried out in an orderly manner on open roads in core areas.

With the arrival of AutoX's fully driverless vehicles in Guangzhou, AutoX's fully driverless vehicles have covered the five major international first-tier cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Silicon Valley. After connecting Shenzhen and Guangzhou, AutoX is expected to create the country's largest RoboTaxi single connection and the largest In the operational domain, in the future, the commercialization of L4 level autonomous driving represented by AutoX is likely to take the lead in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
