AutoX announced it has built the first dedicated production facility in the country to produce Level 4 fully driverless RoboTaxis, according to the company's press release. 

AutoX’s RoboTaxis were officially launched in July this year and operate without accompanying safety drivers.

The factory produces the company’s Gen5-powered RoboTaxi fleet. Since the factory opened in July 2021, the production line has completed three rounds of design and process optimizations to churn out AutoX’s signature RoboTaxis.

AutoX has released a new video of its RoboTaxi factory while it is in operation, allowing viewers to see the inside of its production line specifically designed to put together AutoX’s fully autonomous Gen5 driving system and RoboTaxis. 

The production lines are equipped with a range of production technologies and systems, including ABB robots, and control and transmission systems designed by Siemens, Omron, Schneider Electric, Philips, SEW, and Mitsubishi. 

Every RoboTaxi coming off the pre-delivery inspection line then proceeds to the automatic multi-sensor calibration turntable, and goes through wheel calibration as well as temperature and waterproof testing.
