DeepRoute expects to set up a European operations center in Germany next year and will release an overseas version of its Driver 3.0 ADAS solution. In addition to Chinese electric vehicle (EV) makers, suppliers to the industry are also targeting overseas markets.

DeepRoute is preparing to export its technology to overseas markets, and Germany will be the first stop in that endeavor, the Alibaba-backed Chinese autonomous driving startup said.

DeepRoute is present at the ongoing Munich auto show, IAA Mobility 2023, where its CEO, Zhou Guang, revealed the plan.

DeepRoute expects to open a European operations center in Germany next year and will release overseas versions of its Driver 3.0 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) solution, its D-Pro and D-Air smart driving products, and its smart-driving light trucks, Zhou said.

DeepRoute was founded in February 2019, and in April 2021 became the first company able to conduct manned robotaxi tests in Shenzhen.

On September 14, 2021, DeepRoute announced the completion of a $300 million Series B round led by Alibaba, making it the first such company the e-commerce giant has invested in China.

On December 8, 2021, DeepRoute released Driver 2.0 which cost less than $10,000, the lowest recorded in the industry at that time.

On March 22 of this year, DeepRoute released its new Driver 3.0 solution, which it said is a solution that does not require high-definition maps and can facilitate mass production for automakers.
