DeepRoute.ai Secures $100 Million to Expand Autonomous Driving Systems in China

The Shenzhen-based startup aims to outpace Tesla's Full Self-Driving rollout with a significant increase in vehicle integration by 2025.

DeepRoute.ai has announced a $100 million funding round led by an undisclosed Chinese automaker, with Great Wall Motor reportedly involved.
The company plans to deploy its driver-assist systems in approximately 200,000 vehicles in China by the end of 2025, a tenfold increase from the current 20,000.
DeepRoute.ai emphasizes its strategic partnership with Nvidia, utilizing the Orin chip and preparing to integrate the newer Thor chip for enhanced driving capabilities.
The startup's technology allows vehicles to navigate without relying on high-definition maps, a method similar to Tesla's approach.
DeepRoute.ai is preparing to expand its presence internationally, including participation in Japan's auto show next year, while continuing to collaborate with foreign automakers.
