Cao Cao Mobility Robotaxi Fleet Hits 100 Units, Targets 100,000 by 2030

Cao Cao Mobility robotaxi operations have reached a new milestone as the company’s fleet expanded to 100 vehicles, reinforcing its ambitions in autonomous driving and large-scale commercial deployment. Backed by Geely Holding Group, the ride-hailing platform is accelerating its Robotaxi 2.0 phase with a long-term target of deploying 100,000 robotaxis worldwide by 2030. The development marks a critical inflection point in China’s rapidly evolving intelligent mobility sector.
On February 11, the 100th robotaxi officially entered service in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, symbolizing the transition from pilot-scale validation to structured expansion. The company described this as a foundational step toward scaling safe and efficient driverless taxi operations in urban environments.

Cao Cao Mobility robotaxi enters Robotaxi 2.0 phase

With the launch of its 100th vehicle, Cao Cao Mobility robotaxi services are moving into the Robotaxi 2.0 phase, focused on operational maturity and gradual autonomy enhancement. The company plans to shift from safety-driver-supported trials toward fully autonomous operations while testing hybrid service models that combine human-driven and driverless vehicles.

From assisted trials to full autonomy

During this phase, the robotaxi fleet expansion will emphasize:

• Progressive reduction of in-vehicle safety drivers

• Validation of system redundancy and real-world reliability

• Optimization of ride dispatch, routing, and passenger interface

As the fleet grows, Cao Cao Mobility aims to refine operational workflows and improve customer experience, ensuring scalability without compromising safety standards.

Infrastructure push with Green Intelligent Transit Island

To support its expanding autonomous driving technology network, the company has introduced its first “Green Intelligent Transit Island” in Hangzhou. The facility integrates automated battery swapping, vehicle self-cleaning systems, intelligent scheduling, and automatic payment solutions.

Enabling scalable driverless taxi operations

The transit hub is designed to stabilize fleet operations and reduce downtime. Key features include:

• Automated battery swapping to enhance turnaround efficiency

• Smart fleet dispatch systems for demand-based allocation

• Digital payment and maintenance integration

Such infrastructure is expected to play a critical role as Hangzhou robotaxi coverage expands in both service hours and operational zones. By reinforcing backend logistics, the company is building a foundation for sustained, high-volume autonomous deployments.

Global ambitions and 2030 robotaxi target

Beyond China, Cao Cao Mobility robotaxi plans are increasingly global in scope. The company has signed a memorandum of understanding with ADIO Abu Dhabi to establish a local office this year. In partnership with regional stakeholders, it will advance pilot programs focused on autonomous driving and green mobility technologies.
Earlier this year, Cao Cao outlined a five-year strategy targeting 100,000 robotaxis in operation by 2030, alongside international commercial rollouts. The company is co-developing a purpose-built robotaxi model with Geely and strategic partners, equipped with a factory-integrated autonomous driving suite scheduled to debut this year.
With steady robotaxi fleet expansion, purpose-built infrastructure, and overseas partnerships, Cao Cao Mobility is positioning itself as a key contender in the global race toward scalable, fully autonomous ride-hailing services.
