According to CTOnews.com9 news on March 5, today, Cao Cao launched a cooperation with the Intelligent driving Center of Geely Automobile Innovation Research Institute on the Robotaxi (self-driving taxi) project, with the Robotaxi platform operation and data service business as the core to create China's first open commercial smart driving platform.

According to Chu Kui, head of Cao Cao's future travel department, with Cao Cao's accumulated experience and advantages in sharing travel, it is planned to open the platform to various travel companies or self-driving companies across the country, and gradually establish Cao Cao's Robotaxi operation network throughout the country. "Cao Cao Travel strives to be the first Robotaxi travel platform in China to carry out L4 commercial operation nationwide," Chu said. "

Hu Jinlong, deputy director of the Intelligent driving Center of Geely Automobile Research Institute, said that the intelligent driving center will provide Cao Cao with integrated solutions in system software development and underlying platform construction. Cao Cao takes advantage of its massive mileage data to feed back to the intelligent driving center to form a data closed loop and accelerate the iteration of intelligent driving technology and algorithms.

At present, Geely's intelligent driving technology research and development is in rapid progress. At the beginning of last year, Geely Automobile Group reached a strategic cooperation with Suzhou Xiangcheng District on the intelligent driving project, and the Geely Automotive Intelligent driving Global Research and Development Center project was located in Suzhou High-speed Railway New Town. On October 31 last year, Geely Automobile Group CEO Gan Jiayue released the "Intelligent Geely 2025" strategy at Hangzhou Bay Research Institute, with the goal of commercializing L4 self-driving by 2025.

According to Zhou Zhenren, head of Cao Cao's Travel Intelligent driving Center, although the unit travel cost of Robotaxi is slightly higher than that of ordinary taxis at this stage, when the real self-driving is realized, the post-natal cost of self-driving hardware is reduced and other factors, it is estimated that by 2025, the travel cost per kilometer of Robotaxi is only about 1 yuan. With the continuous reduction of costs, Robotaxi will become the main solution for daily travel.

In 2021, China's self-driving industry has a high degree of investment, and complete vehicles, self-driving solutions, core hardware such as chips and radar, and Robotaxi have become popular tracks. According to the whale quasi-database, as of November 30, 2021, a total of 1764 autopilot-related projects were included.

According to IHS, an automobile consulting service, the market size of China's shared travel will reach 2.25 trillion yuan by 2030, of which Robotaxi will account for 60% and the scale will reach 1.3 trillion yuan. According to the forecast of Yiou think tank, by 2030, China's intelligent transportation market will reach 10.5 trillion yuan, of which Robotaxi, Robotruck (self-driving truck) and intelligent driving Tier1 (first-tier supplier) all exceed trillion levels.

CTOnews.com learned that Robotaxi refers to a self-driving taxi, which is based on self-driving technology and is designed to transport passengers to designated positions without driving.
