On September 24, the "Cao Cao Zhixing" satellite was successfully launched into orbit, completing the first phase deployment of the Geely constellation. The satellite will serve the Robotaxi fleet operations of Cao Cao Zhixing, the autonomous driving platform under CAOCAO INC. This milestone marks the further integration of aerospace technology into CAOCAO's Robotaxi ecosystem and signifies steady progress in the company's "sky-ground-space integration" future mobility blueprint.

As the most important commercial vehicle for Geely Holding Group's Robotaxi operations, CAOCAO launched the Cao Cao Zhixing autonomous driving platform in February this year, initiating pilot operations in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Since April, the company has begun deploying a new generation of Robotaxi vehicles featuring Geely's latest redundant architecture design, deeply integrating CAOCAO's capabilities in automatic dispatching, remote safety assurance, mobility cabin services, and digital asset management. The company has also collaborated with Geely and business partners to develop customized vehicles pre-installed with proprietary autonomous driving components and related applications.

CAOCAO's Executive Director and CEO Gong Xin previously noted: "Safety is the core prerequisite and ultimate test for autonomous driving commercialization." To build a solid safety foundation, CAOCAO entered into a strategic partnership with Spacety on July 22, jointly exploring the application of satellite communication and high-precision positioning technology in autonomous vehicle fleet management.

After installing satellite terminal equipment in vehicles, Spacety's aerospace technology provides two key capabilities for the Cao Cao Zhixing platform:

Satellite Communication Safety Redundancy: Vehicles integrated with satellite communication capabilities ensure continuous reliable connection with control centers within operational areas, providing solid support for remote monitoring, dispatching, and emergency intervention, enhancing emergency response capabilities in extreme situations.

Centimeter-Level Positioning Accuracy: By integrating satellite signals with ground reference station data and onboard high-precision sensors, vehicle positioning errors can be controlled at extremely low levels, ensuring stable and reliable positioning even in severe weather conditions such as blizzards and heavy rain.

Spacety independently constructs and operates the Geely constellation, which currently has 64 satellites in orbit, achieving real-time communication coverage for any location on Earth's surface except the polar regions. In areas where traditional ground network coverage is insufficient or signal stability is poor, it can provide stable and reliable real-time satellite IoT communication services, ensuring vehicles maintain constant connection with control centers and enhancing operational safety boundaries.

In the future, operational vehicles on the Cao Cao Zhixing platform will be equipped with satellite application products and services as standard, potentially resolving current autonomous driving signal blind spot issues in remote areas and other scenarios, accelerating the commercialization of autonomous driving.

The successful launch of the "Cao Cao Zhixing" satellite also represents an important milestone in CAOCAO's advancement of its "sky-ground-space integration" mobility blueprint. This blueprint aims to construct a three-dimensional, all-weather, high-redundancy future mobility service system integrating ground vehicles, low-altitude aircraft, and low-orbit satellites. The Geely constellation serves as the key infrastructure for this vision.

Leveraging Geely's robust industrial ecosystem advantages, the Cao Cao Zhixing platform will become the world's first mobility platform to comprehensively integrate low-orbit satellite communication and high-precision positioning technology in Robotaxi operations. Through the technological integration of "sky" (satellite technology) and "ground" (vehicle intelligence), it will establish an innovative multi-layered safety redundancy system, setting new safety benchmarks for future mobility and injecting new momentum for high-quality industry development.
