DeepRoute.ai has officially launched in South Korea at the 2025 Seoul Mobility Show, a key moment in its global growth strategy.

The company is debuting its innovative Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model, which will soon be incorporated into five vehicle models in 2025.

This versatile VLA technology, capable of both camera-only and LiDAR-camera fusion configurations, is compatible with various chip platforms, catering to the needs of global automakers.

Since its 2019 founding by Dr. Maxwell Zhou, DeepRoute.ai has raised over $500 million across six funding rounds. The company is focused on developing advanced AI to power robots and smart vehicles, with a goal of achieving artificial general intelligence.

South Korea’s rapid strides in electric vehicles and smart driving make it an important market for the company. DeepRoute.ai’s VLA model will first appear in China mid-2025, marking a significant step in the company’s global rollout.

The VLA system stands out for its ability to process long driving scenarios, providing transparent, step-by-step insights into its decision-making, which enhances trust in AI-powered mobility.

CEO Maxwell Zhou is set to deliver a keynote at the Seoul Mobility Show Forum, where he will discuss the global expansion of smart driving technology and future industry trends.
