Users can request a Robotaxi through the DiDi Autonomous Driving mini program within the permitted autonomous driving operation zone in Huadu district. To order a ride, users simply need to input their starting and ending location within the operation zone and click the "request a car" button. The Robotaxi will arrive and transport passengers to their destination. Payment is completed through the mobile App's payment system.
DiDi’s Robotaxi is a customized XC90 SUV from Volvo Cars that rides on DiDi’s proprietary “TwinStar” autonomous driving platform. The vehicle passed safety technology tests and review in January 2023 and was then included into Guangzhou’s catalogue of intelligent connected vehicle models, signifying the vehicle’s capabilities for demonstration operation.
DiDi’s autonomous vehicles realize all-round safety redundancy, ensuring passengers’ safe and smooth mobility experience. Moreover, the company has conducted targeted testing and enhancements to address the diverse road conditions in Huadu District.
