On May 30, Neolix founder Yu Enyuan told the 2026 Future Mobility Pioneers Conference that the company is shifting its autonomous delivery focus from daytime to nighttime operations.
Yu views nighttime delivery as the true blue ocean for the sector. Given the scarcity of human labor for loading and unloading at night, he insists on an end-to-end automated system featuring automated loading and handling. This necessity, he argues, compels a shift toward embodied intelligence.

Yu revealed that Neolix aims to establish Shenzhen as the premier city for nighttime autonomous delivery, serving as a global model for the industry.
On the topic of safety, Yu stressed that it is far more than just an algorithm—it is a highly complex system. He proposed that achieving safety requires meeting rigorous requirements across multiple dimensions: first, compliance must be standardized and regulated, with companies acting as disciplined "students" to master these norms; second, core technologies must be developed in-house through proprietary software and hardware; and finally, a robust fallback system—specifically, an operational monitoring network—is essential.
