Robotaxi competition is so intense now—Cao Cao Mobility just launched a satellite.

```

Caocao Mobility is now turning its gaze toward space, attempting to open a new dimension in the fiercely competitive Robotaxi market by building an "integrated space-earth" system.

On September 24, the "Caocao Smart Mobility Satellite" was successfully launched into orbit. This marks the completion of Phase I deployment of Geely's commercial aerospace company Spacetime Daoyu's independently constructed "Geely Constellation", bringing the number of in-orbit satellites to 64.

It is reported that this satellite network will directly serve Caocao Mobility’s autonomous driving platform—Caocao Zhixing—providing technical support for its Robotaxi fleet operations. The technology is designed to fundamentally address the risk of vehicles “losing connection” in signal blind spots, thereby paving the way for large-scale autonomous driving operations.

This sequence of actions has also attracted the attention of the capital market. In July this year, after Caocao Mobility announced a strategic cooperation with Spacetime Daoyu, its stock price rose 4.56% on the following day, reflecting the market's recognition of its differentiated approach and potential in the Robotaxi sector.

Directly Addressing Robotaxi Safety Pain Points

Although Robotaxi technology has developed rapidly in recent years, the instability of vehicle positioning signals and interruptions in communication networks in urban canyons, under overpasses, in remote areas, and during heavy rain or other extreme weather, remain significant challenges for large-scale rollout.

According to the cooperation plan, Caocao Zhixing's operational vehicles will in the future come standard with satellite application products and services to solve these safety pain points.

First, after vehicles are equipped with satellite communication capability, they can maintain reliable connections with the control center even in areas with insufficient or unstable ground 5G network coverage. This provides redundant safeguards for remote monitoring, dispatch, and emergency intervention, greatly improving emergency response capability in extreme situations.

Second, by integrating satellite signals with ground reference station data and using high-precision in-vehicle sensors, vehicles can achieve centimeter-level precise positioning. This capability remains stable and reliable even in harsh weather such as blizzards and heavy rain, ensuring accurate vehicle decision-making in complex road conditions.

Consolidating Security Advantages, Accelerating Commercialization

The ultimate goal of using satellite technology is to serve commercialization.

In February this year, Caocao Mobility launched its Caocao Zhixing autonomous driving platform and began Robotaxi pilot operations in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

To accelerate the large-scale rollout of Robotaxi services, Caocao Mobility is steadily expanding its fleet. According to plans, the company aims to launch a custom L4 Robotaxi model designed specifically for autonomous driving by the end of 2026. The model will come pre-equipped with autonomous driving components and related applications, and optimized for long-term operation and reduced TCO (total cost of ownership).

Analysts point out that by combining vehicle customization, operational automation, and the integrated space-earth safety system, Caocao Mobility is expected to establish significant cost and safety advantages when Robotaxi enters the stage of large-scale operation.
