Hello Robotaxi, the autonomous-driving arm of bike-sharing firm Hello (backed by Ant Group), raised approximately $100 million led by Shanghai Guotou’s Pioneer Fund, valuing the business at nearly $3 billion post-money. The company plans to use the capital for a 10,000-GPU computing platform, end-to-end driving models, and an expanded data pipeline. Hello’s self-developed HR1 robotaxi, unveiled earlier this month, entered mass-production delivery over the summer as the company targets deployment of more than 50,000 units by 2027.
