“CaoCao has set an ambitious goal of deploying 100,000 robotaxis by 2030, and we are excited to work together to help realize this vision”
100,000 robotaxis by 2030 is CaoCao's goal, not May Mobility's own claim. May Mobility is the technology provider. The partnership is confirmed but the 100K target is aspirational and 4 years away.
- OpenCapacity · claimed 2026-06-20
“Together, we expect to deploy thousands of autonomous vehicles on the CaoCao network in the years to come”
"Thousands" is vague and has no specific deadline. The CaoCao partnership for European robotaxi expansion is confirmed but deployment scale and timeline are not specified.
