Haomo.ai, a Chinese startup backed by Great Wall Motors, announced the launch of its DriveGPT technology on Tuesday, marking a significant milestone in the global autonomous driving industry. Unlike other autonomous driving solutions, DriveGPT integrates Reinforced Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF) technology, inspired by the popular ChatGPT.
By incorporating data about situations in which human drivers take control, DriveGPT is designed to optimize the decision-making ability of autonomous vehicles on the road in real-time. The model has been trained with data from over 40 million kilometers of driving, and CEO Gu Weihao stated that it can enable vehicles to operate more safely while behaving in a more human-like and smoother way.

The Wey Mocca DHT-PHEV will be the first vehicle to be powered by DriveGPT, with mass production scheduled soon. Haomo.ai’s autonomous driving solutions have been used in around 20 models, and the company announced on Tuesday that it has become the supplier for three carmakers.
Zhang Kai, chairman of Haomo.ai, believes that 2023 will be a crucial year for the development of autonomous driving in China as the sector gains momentum. He expects that 70 percent of new vehicles sold in 2025 will come pre-installed with Level 2 functions, up from 29.4 percent in 2022, according to statistics from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
DriveGPT is a groundbreaking technology that could revolutionize the global autonomous driving industry, and Haomo.ai’s early adoption of RLHF technology could give it a competitive edge over other autonomous driving solutions. With the continued growth of the sector in China, Haomo.ai is well-positioned to lead the way in developing safer, more human-like autonomous vehicles.
