Per the cooperation, the two parties will carry out road test of L4 autonomous vehicles in Shenzhen’s Guangming District, jointly build an academician workstation, and promote the innovation and application of L4 autonomous driving technology. The cooperation signifies a bridge of communication between DeepRoute and important scientific research institutions, providing a new approach for the integration of "industry-university-research" innovation in the autonomous driving field. 

The road test section of autonomous vehicles connects Guangming Laboratory and Guangming’s district government, passing through hospitals, schools, subway stations, and other public areas. With the help of the multi-sensor fusion sensing algorithm and decision planning algorithm developed by DeepRoute, the vehicle can identify obstacles around more than 200m away, avoid pedestrians, and make optimal driving decisions under complex traffic conditions. DeepRoute is currently the only company conducting autonomous driving road tests in Shenzhen's Guangming District. The tests will help the company facilitate the commercial application of autonomous driving technology in the district.

On the other hand, the academician workstation to be jointly built by DeepRoute and Guangming Laboratory will be in use for 3 years. DeepRoute’s R&D staff will cooperate with Guangming Laboratory's scientific research personnel to optimize L4 autonomous driving system in perception, positioning, and collaborative decision-making.
