On February 10, 2022, the California Transportation Authority DMV released a new 2021 full-year autonomous driving data, and the top self-driving companies in China and the United States continued to occupy the top of the list.
California DMV Annual Average Takeover Mileage (MPI) is one of the core metrics of autonomous driving, reflecting the comprehensive average annual mileage and takeover number, which is widely considered by the industry to be a more objective, quantitative and accurate measure than the test drive experience.

On the hardware, you can see that all players are equipped with multiple lidars. Except for Pony and Yuanrong Kaixing DeepRoute, who announced that they would abandon rotary lidar and use one-way radar embedded in the body, other head players chose rotary lidar. Rotary lidar remains the number one choice for the vast majority of head Robotaxi companies.
There is no doubt that the driverless industry, at the intersection of the automotive industry, the transportation industry and the technology industry, represents the great changes in the development of contemporary science and technology, and nurtures huge commercial and social values. In this global ranking, China's representative players have achieved proud results, which also reflects the future of Robotaxi and even the autonomous driving industry, and the technical reserves and commercialization capabilities of Chinese enterprises will make them become global leading players that cannot be ignored.
