Car change news? Following the completion of Series A financing at the beginning of 20021,Qingzhou Zhixing completed Series A+ financing of US$ 6,543.8 billion, which was continued by Yunfeng Fund, Sheng Yuan Capital, Meituan Dragon Ball and internationally renowned pension fund * * *, and the old shareholder IDG Capital. In this round of financing, Scale Partners Shi Sheng Capital acted as the exclusive capital consultant.

Since its inception, canoe Zhihang has put forward the strategic goal of "super factory" for autonomous driving, so as to realize the commercialization and large-scale landing of autonomous driving efficiently. In just two years, canoe Zhihang has completed three steps to build the prototype of a "super factory":

The first step is to build an automatic closed loop with simulation as the core and cutting-edge technology research and development as the breakthrough to realize the efficient use of massive data;

In the second step, relying on the team's full-stack technical ability, the unmanned solution "drive-by-q craft" focusing on complex urban traffic scenes is launched, which is suitable for covering different urban scenes and different models;

The third step is to take unmanned minibuses as a breakthrough, quickly realize commercialization in nearly ten cities, serve the needs of smart cities and new infrastructure, and provide open road travel services for tens of thousands of residents.

Under the guidance of the strategy of self-driving "super factory", the dragon boat series driverless cars gradually launched by canoe Zhihang cover many types of vehicles, which can be applied to many scenes such as network car, bus and shuttle bus. It is estimated that the fleet size will exceed 100 this year. The main feature of dragon boat series driverless cars is that Robotaxi's technology is high and low, and it can land quickly. Functionally, it can realize 360-degree blind spot perception and has a 5G+V2X vehicle display system.

When cars are truly enjoyed through intelligence and networking, Robotaxi will move towards a new format, providing people with more spacious space and greener travel services. In order to explore a more forward-looking Robotaxi, canoe Zhihang chose to start with the form of Robobus, vigorously realize its commercialization, continuously collect application feedback, and create a new form of transportation that is more widely applicable to * * * *.

Yu Qian, co-founder and CEO of Canoe Zhihang, said: "Driverless is a trillion-dollar long track. If you want to run to the finish line successfully, you can't just have a huge amount of data technically, but also rely on the' super factory' to achieve a high degree of automation; In terms of business, it is necessary to realize the scale of cost control and the commercialization of operations, and gradually realize the landing of open road scenes such as Robobus and Robotaxi. "

Under the background of aging population and carbon neutrality, autonomous driving has taken the lead in the field of public travel, and is gradually becoming another national business card in China after high-speed rail. The unmanned minibus Dragon Boat No.1 (also known as unmanned minibus canoe) launched by canoe Zhihang has naturally become another beautiful landscape of urban smart public transportation. Dragon Boat No.1, as the first released product of dragon boat series unmanned vehicles, is widely used in urban feeder lines, micro-circulation public transport and other scenes. Its characteristics such as fixed area, compliant vehicles and medium and low speed make it safe and reliable enough. At present, this minibus has started normal operation in more than five cities including Suzhou, Shenzhen and Wuhan.

With the rapid iteration of technology and the wide application of landing scenarios, Qingzhou Zhihang also plans to gradually open the internal tool chain that can achieve efficient research and development, and help partners create their own closed-loop automation data.

In the future, with the vision of "promising technology and unbounded intelligent navigation", canoe Zhihang will keep close cooperation with partners such as urban transportation industry, travel industry and automobile industry, constantly build a "super factory" for autonomous driving, gradually realize its strategic goal, bring unmanned driving into reality, and provide people with safer, more efficient and lower-carbon modes of travel.
