JD.com, through its subsidiary Beijing Jingdong 360 E-commerce Co., Ltd., has filed for multiple "Joyrobotaxi" trademarks. These trademarks cover essential international classifications such as transport vehicles, scientific instruments, and storage and transportation. Currently, all trademarks are under substantive examination. This move signals JD.com's formal entry into the autonomous taxi market.
JD.com's decision to venture into autonomous taxis aligns with its existing technological expertise. The company's experience in logistics, including autonomous driving technology, could be applied to taxi scenarios. Elements like path planning algorithms, multi-sensor fusion technology, and real-time dispatch capabilities from their unmanned warehouse systems are highly compatible with the needs of autonomous taxis.
