Current platform

Didi Robotaxi

Didi Autonomous Driving, the autonomous-vehicle subsidiary of the Chinese ride-hailing giant Didi Chuxing, is a distinct Level-4 robotaxi stack developer rather than a ride-hailing aggregator, and the one genuine missing active Chinese robotaxi operator beyond Baidu, Pony.ai, and WeRide. It launched a fully-driverless robotaxi service in Guangzhou's demonstration zone in December 2025 and reports more than 3,000 Level-4 test vehicles across eleven cities including Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou with over 80 million cumulative kilometers, integrating its own stack into Didi's ride-hailing network in a captive structure paralleling the Waymo Driver. It raised a 2 billion yuan, roughly $281 million, Series D in October 2025 from GAC Group, Beijing funds, and Didi Group, for about $1.83 billion across seven rounds including the SoftBank Vision Fund, and runs a joint venture with GAC-Aion called Guangzhou Andi Technology with an R2 production model. The registry records it at early, zone-limited driverless commercial maturity. Several cap-flags apply: the paid-versus-free status of the December 2025 Guangzhou driverless service is not explicitly confirmed in sources and should be verified before asserting commercial-paid operation, the 3,000-vehicle, eleven-city, and 80-million-kilometer figures are company-reported test-fleet rather than commercial-revenue numbers, and the total-funding figure includes aggregator-derived round history. On the public-versus-private verification axis, unlike the NASDAQ-listed Pony.ai and WeRide whose SEC filings give stronger verification, Didi Autonomous Driving is a private subsidiary of Didi Chuxing, which delisted from the NYSE in 2021, so its robotaxi metrics carry the weaker private-company and Chinese-market-disclosure verification posture.
