AI company DeepRoute.ai is to collaborate with Smart on the development of cars and applications in the field of intelligent driving.
The vehicles will be capable of handling complex scenarios, including parking, traffic circles, missing lane markings, and more. Powered by an advanced end-to-end model, vehicles equipped with this solution “promise to deliver smarter, safer and more reliable autonomous driving experiences for passengers”, the companies said.
DeepRoute.ai’s technology is gaining traction, with over 30,000 vehicles already equipped with its DeepRoute IO intelligent driving platform in four months. This number is expected to rise to 200,000 this year, as more than 10 vehicle models are in progress. The collaboration with Smart will further enhance training and algorithm validation, optimizing the technology for smoother driving.
Smart, an auto brand operating in 31 countries and regions, sees this partnership as a key step toward its goals. Yang Jun, global CTO of Smart, said, “Smart is actively enhancing the R&D of intelligent driving technologies, aiming to strengthen our position in the AI era. DeepRoute has been a pioneer in autonomous driving and frontier technology development. We believe this partnership will bring better, safer and more effortless driving experiences to our users.”
“This partnership is significant as it enables us to expedite the development of latest intelligent driving technology while accelerating overseas road testing and deployment. We look forward to collaborating with more forward-thinking auto makers to develop innovative intelligent driving solutions,” said Maxwell Zhou, CEO at DeepRoute.
