Shenzhen, Monday, 3 November 2025.
DeepRoute.ai plans to introduce a groundbreaking robotaxi service in Shenzhen, aligning with China’s AI and smart transport goals, offering sustainable urban mobility solutions by the end of 2025.

Emergence of Autonomous Mobility

DeepRoute.ai, based in Shenzhen, China, is pioneering a consumer-focused robotaxi service expected to launch by the end of 2025. This initiative is part of Shenzhen’s strategic push to transform urban mobility through smart transportation solutions and aligns with China’s broader goals to advance artificial intelligence (AI) and sustainable urban living [1][2].

Technological Integration and Market Strategy

DeepRoute.ai’s robotaxi fleet is unique in its use of consumer-grade production vehicles, which are integrated with autonomous driving systems during the manufacturing process. This approach significantly reduces costs associated with retrofitting and high-definition map licensing, positioning the company as a competitive force in the global robotaxi market. The firm’s strategy focuses on consistency and interoperability of the technology used in both its assisted driving vehicles and its new robotaxi fleet [1][2][3].

Investment and Expansion Plans

With over $500 million in funding from major investors like Alibaba and Great Wall Motor, DeepRoute.ai is poised to expand its operations beyond China. The company is actively pursuing opportunities in Europe and Asia, particularly in Japan and South Korea, regions that present favorable demographics and regulatory environments for autonomous vehicle deployment. DeepRoute.ai’s plans include growing its fleet from 150,000 vehicles to over 200,000 by the end of 2025 [2][3][4].

Impact on the Global Robotaxi Market

The introduction of DeepRoute.ai’s robotaxi service is set to influence the global robotaxi market, which is projected to grow significantly in the coming years. The market is expected to reach a valuation of USD 218,870.9 million by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 74.56% from 2025 to 2032. This growth is driven by the increasing demand for efficient and sustainable urban transportation solutions [4][5].
