Driving Last-Mile Efficiency with Autonomous HDeliver Vehicles

With China reigning as the world’s largest e-commerce market, the importance of advancing the last-mile delivery industry is coming into sharper focus. Understanding its pivotal role in guaranteeing swift and efficient delivery and ensuring greater customer satisfaction, HAOMO.AI has developed HDeliver—a fleet of fully autonomous vehicles guided by the advanced generative AI model, DriveGPT.

HDeliver holds the key to the future of e-commerce not just by innovating self-driving vehicles but by transforming the last leg of the delivery journey into a sophisticated, intelligent system. Central to this transformation is cost-effectiveness, reflecting a strategic understanding of market dynamics. Over the years, HAOMO. AI has rolled out multiple iterations of its automated distribution vehicles. The latest version marks a significant milestone; it is the world’s first medium-sized automatic distribution vehicle designed for terminal logistics, priced below 90,000 yuan. This pricing represents a whopping 70 percent reduction from the average cost of autonomous vehicles in the current market—defining a new benchmark in cost-effectiveness.

Zhang Kai, chairman of HAOMO.AI, states, “According to the trend forecast by relevant institutions, the global last-mile distribution market is expected to reach USD 424.3 billion by 2030. In China, the potential market size for last-mile distribution continues to expand, which is estimated at 450 billion yuan. Within this vast market, there will definitely be more and more applications of autonomous driving technology, with the penetration rate steadily increasing.”

The other defining aspect of the solution lies in the integration of DriveGPT—the first generative large model for autonomous driving, which propels its navigational efficiency. At its core, DriveGPT employs reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) technology. By assimilating extensive driving data, it facilitates the continuous optimization of cognitive decision models to perform multifaceted tasks, culminating in a unified system that achieves end-to-end autonomous driving. Another notable contribution of this perception-emphasized algorithm is facilitating L4 automatic driving capabilities without needing high-precision maps. This contributes to rapid generalization and keeping the cost of the solution low.

HAOMO.AI also launched MANA OASIS, the largest intelligent computing center in China’s automatic driving field, early this year.

The center complements DriveGPT’s proficiencies and provides floating-point operations up to 670,000 trillion times per second, guaranteeing the stability, efficiency, and speed of training the generative large model.

Currently, HDeliver vehicles operate in nine major scenarios, including shopping malls, smart communities, campus distribution, catering, retail, airport patrol, education facilities, courier services, smart parks, and atmospheric environmental assessments. For every scenario, HAOMO.AI can rapidly deploy solutions in less than a week.

HAOMO.AI has a unique 5S service model in place to serve a wider client base. The models include mobility as a service (MAAS), vehicle as a service (VAAS), platform as a service (PAAS), infrastructure as a service (IAAS), and factory as a service (FAAS), to support the terminal logistics automatic distribution landscape.

HDeliver holds the key to the future of e-commerce not just by innovating self-driving vehicles but by transforming the last leg of the delivery journey into a sophisticated, intelligent system.

This comprehensive service ecosystem has facilitated HAOMO.AI’s strategic collaborations with leading Chinese retailers such as Meituan, Wumart Dmall, and Dada Nexus, and has carried out operations in Shunyi, Yizhuang, and other regions in Beijing. As of July 2023, the cumulative distribution order volume exceeded 200,000, significantly alleviating distribution pressure for clients during the pandemic and peak e-commerce promotional periods, including the 618 Shopping Festival and Double 11 Shopping Festival.

A particular highlight was in November 2022, when distribution orders in Shunyi’s Mapo area surged by 200 percent for Wumart Dmall. To overcome the challenge of efficient distribution and timely delivery of daily necessities, HAOMO.AI deployed multiple HDelivers. Working overtime to allocate orders, Wumart Dmall improved last-mile distribution efficiency during this peak period. HAOMO.AI noted that the daily distribution volume for HDeliver averages around 300 orders, but in the case of Wumart Dmall, it recently peaked at 700. The primary products included essential goods such as vegetables, meat, eggs, water, pastries, instant noodles, and self-heated rice.

These successes underscore HAOMO.AI’s impressive contribution to the field of autonomous distribution vehicles for terminal logistics, where it has firmly cemented market supremacy. With consistent achievements, HAOMO.AI has earned the moniker of ‘China’s No.1 mass-production automatic driving company.’ Yet, given the pace of its innovations, it may not be long before the latest global autonomous technologies are referred to as successors of HAOMO.AI.
