On April 10, 2025, the "Smart Street-Ride Integration 3.0 Achievement Showcase & AI Upgrade Launch Ceremony" was held in Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province, under the guidance of the China Communications and Transportation Association, hosted by the Guangdong Urban Public Transport Association, and co-organized by CaoCao Inc.. and Zhanjiang Public Transport Group. At the ceremony, CaoCao Inc. launched its Smart Street-Ride Integration 3.0 Upgrade Solution, advancing the deep integration of AI technologies in the taxi industry.
Street-Ride Integration enables traditional taxis to perform both street-hailing and app-based ride-hailing services through technological integration. CaoCao Inc. initiated R&D in 2018 and first implemented the system in Shantou, Guangdong in 2019. After multiple iterations, the technology has now evolved to its 3.0 version. With core functionalities including real-time order management, passenger/driver app interfaces, big data analytics, and dynamic dispatching, Solution 3.0 achieves seamless coordination between street-hailing and ride-hailing orders while preventing service conflicts, thereby enhancing passenger experience and driver operational efficiency.
The Geely CC60, serving as the hardware platform for Solution 3.0, is a purpose-built vehicle designed specifically for commercial ride-hailing operations. The model has passed 600,000-km endurance tests, delivers a 450-km CLTC range, and supports both fast charging and battery swap (60-second full replacement), significantly improving operational efficiency. The vehicle is equipped with 16 dedicated hardware modules for Street-Ride Integration, enabling intelligent switching between street-hailing and ride-hailing modes. Its spacious interior, motion-sickness mitigation design, one-touch air refresh, and AI climate control have garnered widespread passenger acclaim. Third-party audits confirm the Geely CC60's TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) stands at ¥0.47/km, 40% lower than benchmark BEVs in ride-hailing fleets, delivering operational cost savings.
After 5 years of iterative development, CaoCao Inc.’s tripartite ecosystem ("User-Vehicle-Platform") for Smart Street-Ride Integration has been deployed in 12 Chinese cities, enhancing public transport efficiency. In Shantou, 6-year operational metrics demonstrate that versus conventional street-hailing taxis, CaoCao Inc.'s solution achieves 30% higher service efficiency, 60% lower operating costs and 30% driver income increase. Zhanjiang's Street-Ride integration program delivered within half a year found 18% urban traffic flow improvement and 37% higher daily order volume per driver. As of now, CaoCao Inc.'s Smart Patrol-Network Integration Solution has been deployed in over 3,000 vehicles nationwide, delivering 22% reduction in passenger complaint rate, 23% increase in driver income, and 30% improvement in corporate profitability. Furthermore, E-Energee (CaoCao Inc.'s strategic battery-swap partner) has deployed 425 battery-swap stations across 43 Chinese cities, delivering rapid and cost-efficient energy replenishment to accelerate nationwide adoption of the Smart Street-Ride Integration solution.
At the launch event, CaoCao Inc.. announced AI-enhanced upgrades to its Smart Street-Ride Integration 3.0, targeting core pain points for passengers, drivers, platforms and regulators. The AI Driver Assistant, integrated with smart heatmaps, leverages precise data analytics and predictive algorithms to help drivers secure orders more efficiently, thereby increasing their revenue. The intelligent surveillance system utilizes image recognition and machine learning to rapidly locate lost items, significantly reducing the rate of passenger complaints. AI-driven intelligent operations, supported by real-time visualized data analytics, enable enterprises to gain actionable insights, optimize resource allocation, and enhance decision-making processes. The AI-based intelligent supervisory system delivers real-time monitoring insights and proactive alerts, ensuring operational safety and regulatory compliance for fleet management.
Gong Xin, CEO of CaoCao Inc., stated: "Street-hailing taxis play an irreplaceable role in meeting the public's diverse and immediate transportation needs. Going forward, CaoCao Inc. will continue to enhance traditional taxi services through technological empowerment, facilitating industry-wide digital transformation to deliver greater value for passengers, drivers, and enterprises."
The newly upgraded Street-Ride Integration Solution 3.0 not only accelerates the digital transformation of the taxi industry but also provides a technology-driven innovation pathway for traditional taxi services, establishing a new benchmark for industry development.
