36 Krypton learned that the autonomous driving solution provider “Yisee Technology” announced that it has obtained Bosch’s strategic investment in the B round of financing. Other investors include Shenzhen Capital (Shenzhen Innovation Investment Group), CICC Capital, Xiamen Seven Wolf Energy Conservation VC, PE and local strategic emerging industry funds such as the Environmental Protection Fund and Chongqing Liangjiang Service Industry Fund. The amount of this round of financing was not disclosed.
Established in 2016, UISEE mainly provides full-stack autonomous driving technology solutions for the two major areas of travel and logistics. The company has developed an unmanned driving solution based on the core technology U-Drive intelligent driving platform, which includes artificial intelligence algorithms, intelligent driving controllers, cloud unmanned driving service platforms, intelligent driving simulation systems and other Modules. It is currently in unmanned logistics Scenarios such as autonomous driving of cars, passenger cars, and unmanned micro-buses have been commercialized.
Uisee Technology stated that they are the “only mass-produced supplier” of domestic driverless smart logistics airport solutions and the first company to start the commercial operation of unmanned micro-buses.
