CaoCao announced a strategic partnership with the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Research Institute to establish the CaoCao AI Innovation Center. The center will focus on breakthroughs in AI technologies across the entire mobility service chain and their commercial application. This collaboration leverages deep integration across industry, academia, and research to advance AI in physical mobility operations.

As a leading mobility technology platform in China, CaoCao has launched its full-scale AI transformation and unveiled its RoboX strategy. The goal is to build a globally leading physical AI operations technology platform. The Company has also introduced its "Dual-100,000 Plan," aiming to deploy 100,000 Robotaxis and 100,000 Robovans by 2030.

The AI Innovation Center will provide multidimensional, full-chain support for CaoCao’s AI transformation and RoboX strategy. This includes academic research, theoretical support, technological innovation, and industrial practice. The center will also facilitate the translation of cutting-edge AI technologies into real-world mobility operations.

CaoCao’s ecosystem integrates intelligent purpose-built vehicles, intelligent driving technologies, and intelligent operations. This closed-loop system accelerates the development of capabilities for large-scale autonomous driving operations. The partnership with the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Research Institute strengthens this ecosystem by adding advanced research and innovation capabilities.

The establishment of the AI Innovation Center marks a significant step in CaoCao’s strategy to lead in AI-driven mobility solutions. By combining industry expertise with academic research, the center aims to drive technological advancements and commercial applications in the mobility sector.

CaoCao and May Mobility have entered a strategic partnership to jointly explore the large-scale commercialization of Robotaxi services in international markets, with a focus on Europe. The collaboration aims to combine CaoCao's operational strengths with May Mobility's autonomous driving technology to advance from pilot validation to scalable deployment. This partnership is expected to accelerate the development of a global Robotaxi operations network.

Under the agreement, the companies will conduct joint feasibility studies and commercial exploration of Robotaxi deployment. They will also advance pilot programs in key markets, including Europe. The partnership will deepen collaboration in market expansion, operational model innovation, and commercialization pathways.

CaoCao will serve as the fleet owner and operator, leveraging its strengths in ride-hailing operations, fleet management, vehicle support, and maintenance. May Mobility's autonomy-as-a-service offering will power the fleet at scale. The in-situ autonomous driving system is designed to reason through unfamiliar road environments, enabling efficient adaptation into new international markets.

On June 18, CaoCao announced its full-scale AI transformation and unveiled its RoboX strategy. As the primary commercialization platform for Geely Holding Group’s RoboX initiative, CaoCao aims to build an intelligent mobility ecosystem spanning Robotaxi, Robovan, and other use cases. The ecosystem is centered on three core pillars: intelligent purpose-built vehicles, intelligent driving technology, and intelligent operations.

May Mobility, a global leader in autonomous driving technology, has developed a proprietary autonomy architecture integrating deep learning, world models, and real-time reasoning. The company currently operates autonomous mobility services in the United States and Japan and has established partnerships with leading industry players. This partnership is expected to accelerate the deployment of autonomous mobility services in more cities worldwide.
