DeepRoute.ai, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Shenzhen, develops autonomous driving technology and AI-powered driving solutions for mass-market vehicles. The company's work spans artificial intelligence, scene understanding, driving decision-making, and active safety systems, with a technical focus on foundation models for driving and the architecture of software-defined vehicles.
The company has deployed its Urban navigation-on-autopilot (NOA) solution across more than 300,000 mass-production vehicles through collaborations with automakers. Its active safety systems, which improve real-world vehicle reliability, have accumulated over 1.3 billion kilometers of operational data. These deployments reflect DeepRoute.ai's emphasis on translating research into practical systems for consumer vehicles rather than specialised applications.
DeepRoute.ai's technical approach centres on a unified foundation model that integrates driving decision-making, scene understanding, and behaviour evaluation within a single architecture. This work positions the company within the broader shift toward software-defined vehicles and what it describes as physical AI - the application of artificial intelligence to autonomous systems operating in the physical world.
