CaoCao Inc., a Chinese ride-hailing platform originally incubated by Geely, began robotaxi road testing without an in-vehicle safety operator on July 27, 2026, on public roads in Hangzhou's Binjiang District.
Vehicles receive ride assignments only when designated stations trigger a request, letting CaoCao evaluate system stability and service reliability within a limited, controlled operating framework.
The program remains a road test rather than a fully open commercial service, with CaoCao describing the removal of the safety operator from the driver's seat as a further step in its driverless rollout.
