From Selling AD Kits to AI Driver Subscription Service - A New Approach to Scaling Commercial Vehicle L4

2026-07-16

Commercial vehicles today stand at a crossroads of

unmanned transformation. Industries across the board face common challenges: a

widening gap in driver recruitment, rising labor costs year by year, and

prominent safety risks in high-intensity operations. Meanwhile, traditional

autonomous driving solutions have pain points such as long customized

development cycles, high one-time investment thresholds, weak vehicle

adaptation capabilities, and uncontrollable subsequent technology iteration

costs, making it difficult for many enterprises with intelligent transformation

needs to implement them efficiently.

As a leader in autonomous driving for both airport

and factory scenarios, UISEE offers autonomous driving kit solutions to

enterprise customers and commercial vehicle manufacturers, covering from

vehicle AD adaptation to post-deployment operation and maintenance monitoring.

At the same time, it provides a full set of autonomous driving services

including production, calibration, data collection, deployment, technical

maintenance, and software updates, enabling enterprises to use AI drivers just

like hiring human drivers, and completing intelligent transformation with lower

barriers and higher certainty.

Large-Scale Practical Verification of AI Driver Kits

Since 2020, when UISEE began providing L4-level

autonomous driving kits to enterprise customers and commercial vehicle

manufacturers, the company has continuously explored new customers in various

application scenarios, and the demand for autonomous driving kits has continued

to grow. To date, it has established in-depth cooperation with 6 leading

commercial vehicle manufacturers and successfully delivered over 500 L4 kits

for vehicles across multi-industry scenarios.

Deploying regular unmanned pig transportation in

integrated farms, executing last-mile unmanned delivery in underground mines,

providing unmanned bus shuttle services in parks and on public roads,

undertaking intelligent production logistics in manufacturing plants, and

handling unmanned sanitation and inspection in industrial parks.

From leading automakers to vertical industry

leaders, from closed scenarios to open roads, from cargo to passenger

transport. Leveraging "standardized kits + deep empowerment", UISEE

enables OEM customers to obtain tailored, self-controllable AI drivers at

predictable costs and cycles.

A Decade of Accumulation Solving the Commercial Vehicle L4 Dilemma

Installing an L4-level autonomous driving system

onto commercial vehicles operating in real scenarios is far from a simple

"port". Compared with passenger vehicles, which have unified

platforms, redundant performance, and mild operating conditions, the

large-scale deployment of commercial vehicle L4 must solve challenges of

reliability, consistency, high precision, and strong O&M capabilities.

Unlike the standardized demands of passenger

vehicles in the ToC market, every vertical industry in the commercial vehicle

market has distinctly different business logic and operational scenarios.

Airport aprons require 24/7 uninterrupted baggage and cargo transfer; mining

areas must deal with the absence of GPS signals and high-humidity corrosion;

park buses face complex interactions with traffic participants on open roads.

These differentiated requirements, from perception strategies and planning logic

to control precision, all demand targeted business understanding and

engineering adaptation.

A decade of technical accumulation and operational

experience in real scenarios across numerous industries has become UISEE's core

barrier. When a brand-new commercial vehicle model needs adaptation, there's no

need to start from scratch — the all-weather operation strategies honed at

airports, the biosafety logic verified at farms, and the extreme environment

perception capabilities developed in mining areas can all be quickly migrated

to new vehicle models, significantly shortening the cycle from adaptation to

operation.

Unlike the "personal mobility tool"

attribute of passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles serve enterprise-level

operation scenarios — large airports, factories, mines, logistics parks. This

means the unmanned transformation of commercial vehicles is not just about

"driving the vehicle well", but more about "managing the fleet

well": how vehicle dispatching aligns with enterprise production plans,

how to uniformly manage mixed-fleet operations of multiple vehicle types, how to

achieve minute-level response for fault warnings and remote diagnostics, and

how operational data feeds back into safety strategy iteration — these are all

issues enterprises care most about, and they represent the core threshold

determining whether L4 can truly enter the industry. By empowering enterprise

customers with mature O&M management experience and standardized solutions

formed over years of truly unmanned operations, UISEE enables customers to not

only own unmanned fleets, but also possess the capability to manage them well.

These challenges make many technical solutions that

seem feasible in the passenger vehicle sector struggle in commercial vehicle

scenarios. They require solution providers to be not just algorithm companies

or hardware suppliers, but "enablers" who deeply understand vehicle

engineering and possess large-scale systems engineering delivery capabilities.

Empowering Customers with AI Full-Lifecycle Applications

Facing the dilemma of large-scale commercial

vehicle L4 deployment, UISEE has built an autonomous driving kit business model

covering the full lifecycle of development, verification, customization,

deployment, and operation & maintenance. It productizes L4-level autonomous

driving capabilities into AI driver kits that can be delivered at scale,

ensuring rapid fulfillment of autonomous driving needs for different customers

and vehicle models.

Through in-depth joint development with OEM

manufacturers, UISEE outputs standardized chassis-by-wire requirements based on

enterprise standards for drive-by-wire systems, ensuring that the autonomous

driving system's low-level control of the vehicle is precise, reliable, and

compliant with functional safety requirements. Based on vehicle models,

business scenarios, and functional requirements, UISEE customizes on top of

mature sensor architecture standard solutions, significantly reducing

development and design time. To verify system reliability and functional

completeness, UISEE builds simulation environments for high-intensity testing

of the AD system. Finally, it enters the prototype vehicle verification phase,

small-batch finalization phase, and business scenario verification in real

project scenarios — a complete process ensuring customers get an out-of-the-box

experience.

Completing adaptation is only the first step. To

ensure that AD kits delivered to different customers and vehicle models all

meet a unified and reliable L4-level autonomous driving safety standard, UISEE

has established a universal quality system and testing standards. Based on

dimensions such as solution completeness, number of project verifications, and

reusability, it has formed a progressively tiered evaluation standard for kit

business maturity. Top-level solutions — verified through 3 or more projects of

the same type, with stable reusability and established basic iteration

optimization mechanisms — can significantly improve development efficiency and

delivery stability for similar projects. The core value of this system is that

it does not lower the safety baseline due to customer budgets, vehicle model

differences, or delivery cycle pressures, providing customers with measurable

and traceable L4 safety guarantees.

Delivering a working kit is not the end. UISEE also

provides a comprehensive customer empowerment system, ensuring customers can

complete kit vehicle mass rollout and large-scale deployment with high quality,

and conduct effective O&M during subsequent operational cycles. Through the

easy-to-use toolchain software U-Kit, it simplifies complex processes

frequently used by customers — such as vehicle rollout, calibration and

deployment, data collection, HD map creation, and testing & verification.

It also provides targeted management training for various roles, from basic AD

knowledge to testing, upgrading, O&M, maintenance, and safety, ultimately

enabling customers to independently complete L4-level autonomous driving

delivery and application.

In the O&M phase, UISEE has built a three-tier

O&M system: on-site, remote, and cloud. On-site O&M handles daily

vehicle issues, traffic coordination, and emergency response; the remote

O&M center provides 7x24 AD problem analysis, accident safety handling, and

data statistics; cloud O&M is responsible for system version iteration

updates, daily safety inspections, and vulnerability fixes. At the same time,

it establishes clear safety risk management mechanisms and accident handling procedures,

helping customers clarify safety responsibility boundaries.

Continuously Evolving AI Driver Subscription Service

As the number of cooperating automakers continues

to grow, adapted vehicle models keep expanding, and covered industries,

customers, and application scenarios keep broadening, the installation volume

of autonomous driving kits will achieve rapid growth. UISEE will also elevate

from "how to deliver a kit well" to "how to provide a

continuously evolving AI driver service".

In the traditional business model, customers need

to pay a high one-time fee to purchase vehicle hardware and software. With the

subscription service, customers only need to pay a lower down payment, and then

hire AI drivers through three flexible payment models: monthly subscription,

pay-by-driving-hour, and pay-by-mileage, to receive the full set of services

provided by full-scenario L4-level AI drivers.

The AI driver subscription service not only

flexibly adjusts service content based on customer needs, but also helps

customers expand profit margins and dilute O&M costs through economies of

scale, maximizing returns throughout the entire product lifecycle. Through

UISEE's continuous empowerment, customer usage costs will drop significantly —

whether for autonomous driving algorithm upgrades and iterations, unmanned

vehicle hardware maintenance and after-sales service, or vehicle operation and

maintenance.

The AI driver subscription service will become the

inevitable path for autonomous driving technology to reach universal adoption.

Currently, UISEE is advancing in-depth adaptation with global leading

commercial vehicle manufacturers, enabling the AI driver subscription service

to be quickly deployed on various vehicle models, with vehicles connected to

the cloud management platform right off the production line, allowing

enterprises to start unmanned operations with lower barriers, smaller risks,

and higher certainty.

Packaging a decade of deep technical accumulation,

over 9 million kilometers of operational experience, and a full-chain service

system into on-demand productivity tools, the AI driver AD kit and subscription

service will become a new solution for the large-scale deployment of autonomous

driving technology in the Physical AI era. UISEE will continue to refine the AI

driver, making L4-level autonomous driving technology a capability that all

industries can leverage effectively.
