For example, the company currently holds four operation centers in its homebase Shenzhen alone, strategically placed in Nanshan, Futian, and Pingshan Districts, covering a significant area of Shenzhen reaching coastal lines. The centers allow AutoX to have the largest-scale and comprehensive RoboTaxi operation system worldwide. 

In addition, AutoX also unveiled its Pingshan operation center for driverless RoboTaxis for the first time.

The center's carpet area totals 18,198 square meters. Aside from the top two floors of office sections, the rest four floors are all used for RoboTaxi operation and maintenance, serving the vehicles and technologies, as well as transmitting data.
