AutoNavi Launches Full-Space Unmanned System and Spatial Intelligence Open Platform
On September 22, at the 2026 Yunqi Conference, AutoNavi (Gaode) announced the launch of a full-space unmanned system and a spatial intelligence open platform. The company stated that understanding the real physical world requires three core capabilities: vivid 3D spatial representation, continuous real-time dynamic perception, and stable and accurate spatiotemporal reasoning. For urban governance and public services, AutoNavi Cloud introduced spatial intelligence AI applications, including 'Yunjing' for spatial environment reconstruction and 'Yunrui' for data analysis in transportation, commerce, tourism, energy, and logistics. The system has completed city-level pilot verifications in Shenzhen Longgang, Sichuan Pengzhou, Guangdong Hengqin, and Jiangsu Changzhou. In Changzhou, it enabled coordinated scheduling of manned and unmanned vehicles in industrial logistics, reducing costs for manufacturers, and facilitated the high-frequency circulation of urban and rural medical supplies. The new 'Qianyu' open platform packages over 80 million POI points, 5 million kilometers of road data, and 7,500 square kilometers of 3D models into standardized AI services, allowing developers to use natural language to call capabilities. AutoNavi Chairman Liu Zhenfei stated that spatial intelligence will serve mobility and lifestyle agents, as well as embodied intelligence and the low-altitude economy.

On September 22, during the 2026 Yunqi Conference, AutoNavi (Gaode) subsidiary Gaode Yuntu launched a Spatial Intelligence AI Platform. The platform aims to create a complete chain from spatial restoration to industry analysis to real-world action, pushing cities and industries from digitalization to autonomous evolution. AutoNavi Vice President Dong Zhenning stated that China's digital city development is shifting from 'digital transformation' to 'digital-intelligent transformation,' characterized by a move from passive response to predictive deduction, from single-system construction to全域协同智能 (global collaborative intelligence), and from technology-driven to 'data+AI' dual-driven. The platform includes three core components: Cloud Environment for restoring and generating the real world, Cloud Wisdom for business, transportation, logistics, finance, and other sectors, and a full-space unmanned systems solution for coordinating drones, robots, and robotic dogs. AutoNavi announced partnerships with nine locations including Hangzhou, Changzhou, Pengzhou, Yangjiang, Hengyang, Hengqin, Shenzhen Longgang, Fujian Dehua, and Nanjing Gulou Binjiang. The company described two 'flywheels' for urban AI capability evolution and ecosystem collaboration, with real-world deployments already underway in Pengzhou, Sichuan (focusing on low-altitude economy) and Changzhou, Jiangsu (focusing on full-space unmanned systems including unmanned logistics, 3D transportation, embodied intelligence, and city operations).

On September 23, at the 2026 Yunqi Conference, AutoNavi (Gaode) officially launched its Qianyu Spatial Intelligence Open Platform. The platform aims to help AI understand the real world by solving the difficulty of acquiring and computing spatial data. It organizes data into a framework of points, lines, surfaces, and dynamics, covering over 80 million POIs, 5 million kilometers of roads, and 7,500 square kilometers of 3D models. The platform builds a semantic spatial data graph and a three-tier reasoning chain for data, computation, and business, allowing AI agents to interpret spatial semantics. Users can input natural language commands for tasks like site selection and regional analysis, which the agent processes into actionable workflows. AutoNavi also demonstrated applications in two-wheeled travel, AIoT, and global services, including lane-level navigation for cyclists and spatial intelligence for smart glasses and watches.
