DiDi Woya, also known as DiDi Autonomous Driving, is the self-driving arm of Chinese ride-hailing giant DiDi Global focused on building Level 4 autonomous robotaxis. The unit has created an AI-powered hardware platform with 33 sensors that delivers 360-degree perception and is being integrated into vehicles co-developed with GAC Aion. Operating independently since 2019—with its core team dating back to 2016—the company holds public road-testing licences in Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Hefei, Guangzhou and California. DiDi Woya intends to deliver its first L4 vehicles by the end of this year and begin pilot services in Beijing and Guangzhou. To fund these plans, the business has raised well over 10 billion yuan (about $1.4 billion) across multiple rounds, including its latest Series D. Bloomberg has reported that the firm sought a valuation of roughly $5 billion in the latest raise, though the final figure was not disclosed. Positioned at the nexus of ride-hailing, electric vehicles and advanced autonomy, the company aims to commercialise large-scale robotaxi operations in China and abroad.
