On November 5th, Gaode, an affiliate of Alibaba, along with XPENG Motors, unveiled a worldwide ecological partnership. XPENG's Robotaxi will be seamlessly integrated into the Gaode platform, with the joint aim of delivering L4-level autonomous driving mobility services. This collaboration signifies the industry's pioneering 'mobility platform + factory-installed, mass-produced Robotaxi' partnership model.

Moreover, it marks a pivotal stride by Gaode towards a complete transformation into spatial intelligence, while also opening up its AI capabilities across diverse industries. The overarching goal is to cater to global customers through a fusion of 'technology + ecosystem,' ultimately constructing the largest Robotaxi aggregation platform in existence. Gaode's CEO, Guo Ning, articulated that both entities will join forces to expand their presence overseas in the foreseeable future, thereby propelling China's Robotaxi services onto the global stage.
