With autonomous driving companies currently struggling to secure non-government funding, DeepRoute's large investment from an OEm is encouraging for the autonomous driving industry as a whole, the company's CEO, Maxwell Zhou, said at a media briefing today.
Great Wall Motor rolled out its new six-seat Lanshan SUV (sport utility vehicle) under the premium Wey brand in Aug this year, equipped with DeepRoute's smart driving solution, making it the automaker's first model with city NOA (Navigate On Autopilot) capability.
On Oct 27,スマート, a joint venture between Geely and Mercedes-Benz, launched the Smart #5, which also features DeepRoute's HD map-independent city NOA function.
