Largest L4 Driverless Fleet on the Apron Makes Grand Debut; UISEE Attends the 5th Smart Apron New Technology Exchange Seminar

2026-08-15

From August 13 to 14, the 2026 5th Smart Apron New

Technology Exchange Seminar was held at Urumqi Tianshan International Airport,

serving as the industry's core window for focusing on the practical deployment

of airport autonomous driving. UISEE, as the industry leader in civil aviation

autonomous driving, appeared at the event. Together with Xinjiang Airport

Group, the company announced that the

largest L4 truly driverless autonomous vehicle fleet on mainland aprons had

surpassed 1.6 million kilometers in cumulative operating mileage at Tianshan

Airport. In just over a year of operation, 72 autonomous vehicles have set a

new record for large-scale commercial autonomous driving at civil aviation

airports in China.

During the seminar, UISEE showcased its mature,

commercially operational L4 autonomous driving solution for airports, and

invited industry partners and experts to experience firsthand the deployment

results of the driverless operating fleet UISEE has built at Urumqi Tianshan

International Airport&mdash;earning unanimous praise and recognition from

attendees.

Crossing the Physical AI Singularity Empowering High-Quality Development of Smart Civil

Aviation

Wu Gansha, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of UISEE,

delivered an in-depth sharing at the main forum, elevating frontline practices

in airport unmanned operations into a systematic judgment on the industry's

future. Wu Gansha believes that civil

aviation is the best scenario for Physical AI, precisely because its most

stringent safety requirements allow the value of AI to be quantified and

verified with the greatest clarity. It is within civil aviation's rigorous

environment&mdash;where "99.9 out of 100 equals zero"——that UISEE

has forged the full-stack self-developed technology foundation of "AI

Driver," achieving industry leadership in safety, efficiency and service

level, and full-scenario coverage.

To accelerate the large-scale deployment of AI

Driver and make autonomous driving an affordable infrastructure for all

scenarios, Wu Gansha announced that UISEE would launch the AI Driver

Subscription Service. Through joint

customization of AI Drivers with customers, and innovative business models such

as financial leasing and retrofit kit + AI Driver Subscription Service, the

company enables out-of-the-box, low-modification-cost AI Driver upgrades.

"We don't

manufacture vehicles or operate fleets. AI Driver drives for customers for 10

years. What we sell is the reliability and trust of autonomous

driving&mdash;the hardest thing to commoditize," said Wu Gansha.

On-Site Experience of Apron Autonomous Driving Witnessing the Real Value Created by AI Driver

While the presentations in the conference hall

dissected the technical logic and operational experience of airport unmanned

operations, the on-site apron experience session allowed industry partners and

experts to intuitively verify the real-world performance of UISEE's AI Driver.

Attendees collectively boarded UISEE's B19

autonomous shuttle bus and entered the core apron operation area, experiencing

the full journey of safety-operator-free L4 autonomous driving in regular

operation. Up close, they witnessed the vehicle's mature capability of smooth

driving and precise docking in the complex apron environment.

"Sitting on

the driverless shuttle bus, in terms of ride smoothness, cornering stability,

and even vehicle-passing strategy, you simply cannot tell there is no human

driver at the wheel," an attendee remarked during the test ride.

Within the airport, 20 autonomous shuttle buses

provide full-area coverage across 3

employee commuter routes and reservation-based pickup/drop-off routes serving

95% of aircraft stands, operating 24 hours a day without interruption. This

effectively addresses challenges such as the vast airport area, scattered

personnel distribution, and difficult nighttime commuting. The shuttle routes have achieved point-to-point, door-to-door

precise service, serving an average of 2,000 to 2,500 passenger trips per day. With

safe, efficient, and diversified quality services, the in-airport commuting

experience has been comprehensively enhanced.

Beyond the passenger-carrying autonomous shuttle

buses, the autonomous tractors shuttling across the apron also caught

attendees' attention. To date, UISEE has deployed nearly 100 autonomous

vehicles in total at Urumqi Tianshan International Airport, of which 52 autonomous tractors handle over 85% of

the airport's cargo and mail transfer tasks and over 75% of its baggage

transfer tasks, efficiently supporting the airport's cargo flow requirements

and serving as the core force for apron cargo support.

From cargo to passenger transport, UISEE has built a large-scale, regular, and replicable real

operational ecosystem for full-business-scenario airport autonomous driving at

Urumqi Tianshan International Airport.

Guided by the vision of "being the AI Driver

for the world," UISEE continues to move steadily along a clear long-term

direction. Going forward, UISEE will further consolidate its generational

leadership in airport autonomous driving, work with more industry partners to

advance autonomous driving into a new phase of large-scale scenario

application, and continue to explore greater possibilities in the field of

Physical AI.
