The Only Self-Driving Technology Company Delivering Test Samples from Testing Stations to Local Hospitals in Shenzhen, Freeing First Responders to Assist Citizens; Will Start Robo-taxi Service Later This Year
FREMONT, Calif., June 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Following a COVID-19 outbreak in China’s most populous province, Guangdong, DeepRoute.ai is currently transporting approximately 14,000 COVID-19 test samples per day to local hospitals in Shenzhen for testing through its advanced self-driving technology. With sporadic cases surfacing in the city, measures to restrict traffic in the province have increased. The use of DeepRoute.ai’s self-driving technology frees first responders to focus on other important tasks.
“It’s our honor to transport test samples with our self-driving vehicles. This project demonstrates the value of self-driving technology during emergency situations, efficiently transporting test samples and freeing critical workers to assist citizens,” said Xuan Liu, Partner and Vice President at DeepRoute.ai. “In the near future, we look forward to starting robo-taxi service in Shenzhen to take citizens to and from multiple vaccination points.”
DeepRoute vehicles are on standby 24 hours a day, delivering samples as frequently as necessary to allow for quick results with little human interaction required. Approximately 20 million doses of vaccine have been administered in Shenzhen and authorities have mostly kept in place tougher border restrictions to further control spread of the virus.
Additionally, DeepRoute is the first company that has been granted a permit to launch a robo-taxi pilot program in the city, with robo-taxis available for service to the public in downtown Shenzhen later this year. DeepRoute.ai’s Level 4, full-stack self-driving system incorporates every function within self-driving technology, including sensing, HD mapping, localization, perception, planning and control, simulation and a cloud-based data platform.
