Developing autonomous driving technologies and intelligent vehicles for heavy commercial transport and smart mobility MoreLess

CiDi is a Chinese autonomous driving technology company focused on intelligent solutions for commercial and industrial vehicles. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Changsha, the company develops autonomous driving systems that integrate perception, vehicle-to-everything communication, and high-precision control software. Its core applications target closed or semi-closed environments such as mining sites, logistics parks, ports, and dedicated public transport corridors, where safety, efficiency, and reliability are critical.

The company’s product portfolio includes autonomous mining trucks, smart logistics vehicles, and connected bus systems, supported by proprietary software platforms designed for large-scale deployment. CiDi emphasizes end-to-end system integration, combining hardware, algorithms, and operational management tools to support real-world commercial use rather than experimental testing. As autonomous driving adoption expands beyond passenger vehicles, CiDi has positioned itself as a specialist in heavy-duty and infrastructure-linked mobility, aligning its development with industrial automation and smart transportation strategies in China.
