On September 17, Hello made an announcement stating that its Robotaxi business had successfully secured a strategic investment from the Alibaba Group. Building on their prior collaborative efforts, the two entities are set to intensify their cooperation in key areas, including the development of large - scale intelligent driving models, computing power platforms, and the Robotaxi sector. Their joint endeavors aim to accelerate the commercialization and expansion of the Robotaxi industry. Back in June of this year, Hello, in partnership with Ant Group and CATL, founded Zaofu Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. This newly - established company is dedicated to the research, development, and commercialization of L4 autonomous driving technology. The initial investment for this venture, contributed by the three parties, exceeded 3 billion yuan. Hello has set an ambitious goal of achieving large - scale operations for its Robotaxi business within the next two years. To support this objective, the company has already assembled a highly skilled talent team, with the business team's size surpassing 200 individuals.
