DeepRoute Secures $700M Funding; L3 Autonomous Driving System Deployed in 200,000 Production Vehicles

Recently, autonomous driving company DeepRoute.ai announced it has completed six funding rounds, raising over $700 million in total, and has entered into a collaboration with a leading global automaker on L3-level autonomous driving technology. Its latest urban navigation-assist driving system integrates a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model with "Chain-of-Thought" capabilities, enabling highly reliable "defensive driving." To date, 200,000 production vehicles equipped with this solution have been launched, spanning more than ten popular models. DeepRoute.ai has also become the first in the industry to build its Robotaxi algorithm foundation using real-world data from mass-produced vehicles, accelerating its expansion into related businesses—a key milestone in advancing the commercialization of autonomous driving.
