Participated · Series D · Oct 2025
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.

Participated · Series D · Oct 2025
Didi Autonomous Driving is the self-driving arm of ride-hailing giant Didi that focuses on Level-4 autonomous vehicle technology and related AI systems. The company has spent nearly a decade building expertise in artificial intelligence, mass production, and large-scale operations for autonomous mobility. In 2025 it began full-scenario, fully unmanned road testing in Beijing and Guangzhou, with vehicles operating smoothly during rush hours, late nights, and heavy rain. A next-generation pre-installed autonomous vehicle, co-developed with GAC Aion, is scheduled for delivery by late 2025, after which Didi plans demonstration applications in both cities. The firm believes L4 autonomy will dramatically improve transportation safety, efficiency, and user experience while opening new employment opportunities. Fresh capital from its recent Series D round will be channelled into AI R&D and the accelerated rollout of L4 services. No revenue, user, or other operating metrics were disclosed in the announcement.
