What Idriverplus does

Idriverplus (北京智行者科技股份有限公司), founded in 2015 and headquartered in Beijing, develops autonomous driving and Physical AI technology for mobile intelligent agents deployed across three business segments: Extreme Operations (fire rescue, emergency response, defense, inspection), Life Services (commercial cleaning robots under the 蜗小白 brand), and Smart Travel (autonomous passenger transportation). The company's technical foundation is the Physical AI Brain (物理AI大脑) — described as the "super base" platform for mobile agents — paired with the TransWorld World Model, a closed-loop self-evolving simulation platform that uses real-world driving data to train and refine autonomous behavior. The platform is multimodal, processing vision, video, text, and sensor inputs to enable navigation, obstacle detection, and route optimization.

The company monetizes through hardware sales of autonomous vehicles and robots and through technology licensing partnerships, most notably the August 2025 strategic cooperation with Senyuan Group to commercialize autonomous driving in sanitation, firefighting, and emergency response vehicles. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise and government sales with channel partnerships for special-purpose vehicle manufacturing, supported by an investor relations and stock information presence on its corporate website. Idriverplus reports commercial deployment in 100+ Chinese cities and 40+ overseas countries, with 3,000+ global deployment points and cumulative unmanned driving mileage exceeding 164 million kilometers. The company was recognized as a "China Unicorn Enterprise" in the Physical AI sector in March 2026 and has raised approximately $72.8M in disclosed funding, including a $57.3M Series 3 round in January 2026 led by Huangshi Industrial Development Fund.

Leadership comprises CEO Zhang Dezhao (张德兆), Co-founder and CTO Wang Xiao, and CMO Song Liming, with Zhang publicly articulating a "Physical AI" strategic positioning. The company competes in China's autonomous driving ecosystem with a differentiated focus on specialized and high-risk applications rather than mass-market passenger vehicles, and operates at a scale (251-500 employees, unicorn status) that places it among the more advanced Chinese autonomy platforms targeting non-robotaxi use cases.
