About Shine Autonomous Driving Technology

Shine Autonomous Driving Technology, founded in December 2021, is a Chinese company that originates from 15 years of technological development at the Hefei Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The company operates in the autonomous vehicle sector, focusing on the development of high-level intelligent driving platforms and scenario-specific products. Its business is structured around three main segments: intelligent driving systems, smart equipment, and integrated vehicle-road-cloud solutions.

The company's offerings include a proprietary L4 autonomous driving system which is a key feature in its third-generation driverless sightseeing bus, the "Xingchi Bujing". This bus, developed in partnership with Ankai Bus, a subsidiary of JAC Group, is designed for operation on open urban roads. The system is powered by a 500+ TOPS automotive-grade computing platform and utilizes a comprehensive sensor suite including LiDAR, millimeter-wave radar, ultrasonic radar, and visual sensors to achieve 360-degree environmental perception. It also incorporates an advanced AUGRU predictive model for forecasting the behavior of multiple objects.

Shine Auto serves automakers by supplying intelligent driving components that are already in mass production. Its smart equipment, which includes buses and mining dump trucks, is in standardized operation in real-world environments. Furthermore, the company's integrated vehicle-road-cloud solutions have been implemented in various settings such as city parks and ports. In late 2024, the company secured over 100 million yuan in a Pre-A funding round to support further platform advancement, product development, and the expansion of industry partnerships. Investors in the company include Hefei Venture Capital, USTC Silicon Valley, Anhui Zhongan Capital, and JAC Motors.
