- Deployment Notes
- [stage: pilot] DeepRoute.ai’s robotaxi effort has been described in public reporting as a pilot in Shenzhen, with a 30-vehicle fleet announced for deployment there. Public sources available here do not confirm that paid public rides are broadly commercialized in 2026; the robotaxi activity appears to remain limited and pilot-oriented rather than a large-scale commercial service, and the sources do not establish whether a safety driver is still present.
