On August 13, the "Unifly Tianshan · AI Driver Intelligent World Driving Experience" event was held at Urumqi Tianshan International Airport in Xinjiang. This event was held concurrently with the 5th 2026 Smart Apron New Technology Exchange and Seminar, becoming the core window for the entire industry to focus on airport autonomous driving landing practices. At the scene, Unifly Technology and Xinjiang Airport Group officially unveiled a core milestone — its L4-level fully autonomous driving fleet has accumulated operation mileage exceeding 1.6 million kilometers at Urumqi Tianshan International Airport, creating a new record for scaled commercial use of autonomous driving in domestic civil aviation airports.
Airport scenarios have always been the hard-to-pass touchstone for autonomous driving technology landing. High-frequency dense flight turnover, mixed human-vehicle operation environments, and near-zero tolerance safety standards have put forward much higher requirements for the stability, adaptability, and safety of the solution, thus becoming the core ruler for measuring a company's real landing ability. Moreover, the regional environment where Tianshan International Airport is located further amplified the difficulty of L4 autonomous driving technology landing. The local winter is long and severely cold, facing extreme working conditions such as -25°C extremely low temperatures, snowstorms and ice accumulation, low visibility, and strong winds all year round, known as a "hardcore trial ground" for autonomous driving landing.
As the only supplier globally capable of providing large-scale commercial operation L4 autonomous driving solutions for airports, Unifly Technology has overcome a series of challenges in complex environments with its full-stack self-developed technology capabilities. It has proven its global leading position in the field of commercial autonomous driving with its mature landing results at Tianshan International Airport, and also provided a mature reference sample for the scaled landing of autonomous driving technology.
Multi-dimensional Presentation of Full Airport Unmanned Status, Witnessing True Unmanned Landing Strength Across All Links
From conference discussions to apron immersive experiences, the "Unifly Tianshan · AI Driver Intelligent World Driving Experience" event deconstructed the landing logic of L4 autonomous driving technology in airport scenarios from multiple dimensions, fully presenting the unmanned commercial ecosystem in real operation status.
The head of Xinjiang Airport Group Tianyi Aviation Service pointed out in his opening remarks that the current civil aviation sector faces practical challenges such as high labor costs, difficulties in ensuring extreme weather protection, and heavy safety pressures, and continuous technological innovation is the best way to solve these problems. "Five years ago, we joined hands with Unifly Technology. Unifly Technology has powerful technology research and development strength, while we understand airports and scenarios better. Under strong joint efforts, the practice of Urumqi Tianshan International Airport proves that autonomous driving is not just a concept in the laboratory, but a new quality productive force that can be scaled in civil aviation scenarios to create real value."
At the subsequent milestone unveiling ceremony, the breakthrough of 1.6 million true unmanned miles and the phased operation results of the largest scale apron unmanned vehicle fleet were officially released to the outside world. Wu Gansha, Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Unifly Technology, together with the head of Xinjiang Airport Group Tianyi Aviation Service, participated in the milestone unveiling ceremony. "The 1.6 million kilometer milestone is 1.6 million kilometers of the entire cluster of unmanned operation fleets with zero primary responsibility accidents, which is more significant than single vehicle operation mileage. Behind these numbers is real value improvement, achieving better safety guarantees, significantly improved efficiency, continuous cost optimization, and green low-carbon development," said the head of Xinjiang Airport Group Tianyi Aviation Service.
Behind the impressive milestone results, Unifly Technology's U-Drive® full-scenario autonomous driving operating system played an indispensable role. The system has passed the ISO26262 ASIL-D highest functional safety certification and ASPICE CL3 process quality certification. It adapts to the high safety requirements of airport scenarios from the underlying architecture, relying on a multi-modal fusion perception and multi-source redundant positioning technology system. It successfully covers extreme working conditions such as extreme cold, ice accumulation, and low visibility, ensuring that vehicles can maintain uninterrupted perception, non-drifting positioning, and non-risky decision-making in various environments, laying a solid foundation for safety in high-frequency, high-load daily operations on the apron. "Now the performance of the AI Driver can replace and meet the operation standards of excellent frontline employees, freeing our hands, allowing us to devote more energy to the core guarantee units," an operator from Xinjiang Airport Group Tianyi Aviation Service expressed.
If the U-Drive® system has built the safety operation baseline for airport autonomous driving from the technical underlying level, then continuously promoting the construction of industry standard systems provides a unified institutional ruler for the scaled landing of airport autonomous driving. Gao Chao, Deputy Director of the Defense and Civil Aviation Center of China Machinery Vehicle Testing & Engineering Research Institute (Beijing) Co., Ltd., stated in his theme sharing on "Airport Autonomous Driving Equipment Operations" that the scaled landing of airport autonomous driving equipment cannot be separated from the regulation and escort of unified standards. Based on fully investigating the pain points of typical airports nationwide and frontline equipment manufacturers such as Unifly Technology, drawing on the intelligent connected vehicle standard system, and combining with civil aviation airport dedicated scenarios, from the perspective of the full life cycle of equipment research and development, production and manufacturing, site testing, on-site operation, and operation and maintenance guarantee, a standard system for dedicated autonomous driving equipment for civil aviation airports will be established in the future to accelerate the construction of smart airports. Gao Chao stated, "We also expect all team partners participating in this cause, including Unifly Technology and Tianshan International Airport, to continuously support the construction of relevant standard systems. Standards will be continuously updated and improved with technology iterations, and we also hope to rely on this set of standards to further promote the landing application of unmanned equipment in airport scenarios."
Unifly Technology CEO Wu Gansha elevated the frontline practice of airport unmannedization to a systematic judgment of the industry's future in his keynote speech on "Crossing the Physical AI Singularity to Empower High-Quality Development of Smart Civil Aviation". Wu Gansha believes that civil aviation is the best scenario for Physical AI because the strictest safety requirements allow the value of AI to be clearly quantified and verified. It is precisely in the strict scenario where civil aviation's safety requirements "99.9 points = 0 points" that Unifly Technology has honed the "AI Driver" full-stack self-developed technology foundation, achieving industry leadership in safety, efficiency, service level, and full-scenario coverage.
To accelerate the scaled landing of the AI Driver and make autonomous driving an infrastructure that can be afforded by all scenarios, Wu Gansha announced that Unifly Technology will launch an AI Driver Subscription Service. Through joint customisation of the AI Driver with customers, innovative business models such as financial leasing, kit retrofits + AI Driver subscription services, etc., achieving plug-and-play, low modification cost AI Driver upgrades. "We do not manufacture vehicles or operate them. The AI Driver drives for customers for 10 years. What we sell is the reliability and trust of autonomous driving. This is the hardest to commodityize," Wu Gansha stated.
The sharing inside the conference deconstructed the technical logic and operation experience of airport unmannedization, while the apron field experience session allowed attendees to intuitively verify the true operation performance of Unifly Technology's AI Driver. Attendees boarded the B19 unmanned bus uniformly to enter the core operation zone of the apron, experiencing the normal operation status of L4 autonomous driving with no safety officer throughout the journey, and intuitively feeling the mature capability of vehicles driving smoothly and parking precisely in complex apron environments. "Sitting on the unmanned midibus, in terms of driving smoothness, turning stability, and even meeting strategies, it is completely impossible to feel that there is no human driver operating it," a participant praised during the test ride.
So far, Unifly Technology has landed a total of nearly 100 unmanned vehicles at Urumqi Tianshan International Airport, which is the largest scale apron unmanned driving operation fleet in the mainland. Among them, 52 unmanned driving tractors undertake more than 90% of the domestic and international cargo station to apron cargo and mail transfer tasks, with a single-day peak operation volume of up to 800 trailers, efficiently supporting airport cargo flow demands. Another 20 unmanned driving buses are equipped with 13 transfer stations, comprehensively covering core areas such as office areas, checkpoints, apron parking positions, and VIP lounges. This extends the application scenarios from single apron cargo towing to multiple passenger carrying scenarios such as crew commuting, employee shuttling, and passenger transfer. It has completed the ability upgrade from cargo transfer to passenger shuttling 7x24 hours full-scenario, all-weather, presenting a real operation ecosystem that is scalable, replicable, and normalizable.
Officially Launch AI Driver Subscription Service Model, Reshaping L4 Landing Commercial Logic
The continuous promotion of autonomous driving scaled landing relies not only on technical capability support but also on sustainable, low-threshold business models. At the meeting, Unifly Technology officially detailed the AI Driver Subscription Service system, enabling more scenarios to start unmanned transformation in a zero-threshold, asset-light manner from the commercial level.
Different from the common vehicle purchase scheme in the industry, the core of the AI Driver Subscription Service is that Unifly Technology deploys FSD-level full-stack unmanned driving capabilities to customers' existing operating vehicles in the form of standardized retrofit kits. Under this model, there is no need for customers to replace new vehicles in batches. Only a smart upgrade of existing capacity is needed to achieve true unmanned operation, greatly reducing the customer's initial capital investment threshold and reducing the sunk cost of asset replacement from the source. The smart driving capability of the entire scheme covers the perception, decision, and control links throughout the chain, reaching the L4-level full-scenario unmanned operation standard, equivalent to equipping every operating vehicle with an AI Driver with full-time attendance ability and standardized operation level. The capability boundary and stability both adapt to the high standards and high-intensity operation requirements of various industries.
"Thus, the AI Driver Subscription Service will form a 'π' business model. One horizontal bar represents Unifly Technology, with the two sides respectively representing vehicle manufacturers, as well as system integrators, solution providers, and operators in various industries. As long as we complete certification docking with all parties, equip vehicles with AI Driver capabilities, subscription services can be launched after scheme delivery, and billing can be carried out per single AI Driver, mileage traveled, or usage duration. This is the business model we judge to be highly core valuable in the future — AI Driver Subscription Service," Wu Gansha explained.
The AI Driver's "capability subscription + flexible payment" model has broken the heavy asset barrier to commercial unmanned technology landing, and will also build a continuous and stable growth curve for Unifly Technology, achieving a win-win for customer value and enterprise development. Currently, Unifly Technology has deep cooperation with 6 leading commercial vehicle manufacturers, successfully delivering autonomous driving vehicles applied to various industry scenarios such as livestock transport, mining transport, airport shuttle, power inspection, and open road shuttling. This enables OEM customers to obtain customized and autonomously controllable AI Drivers at predictable costs and cycles.
Full-Scenario Technology Foundation Builds Growth Barrier, Dual Flywheels Drive Scaled Commercial Acceleration
Why Unifly Technology has the confidence to promote the rapid landing and full-scenario coverage of the AI Driver Subscription Service is behind the technology foundation long deposited by Unifly Technology and the "Dual Flywheels" growth logic, continuously releasing the momentum of scaled landing.
Adhering to the "full-scenario, true unmanned, all-weather" technology route, Unifly Technology follows the "1 intelligent driving base, N types of vehicles, X types of scenarios" architecture strategy. Starting from the airport scenario with the strictest safety standards to polish full-stack L4 technology capabilities, the mature technology foundation can be quickly migrated to nine scenarios such as factory areas, mines, and ports. With the exponential improvement of technology reuse capabilities, currently, the landing cycle of Unifly Technology's airport scenario scheme has been compressed from 7 years to 1 year, the scenario replication speed continues to accelerate, constituting the core scenario flywheel of growth.
And the massive data brought by scale operation forms another growth momentum. Currently, the tens of millions of kilometers of real operation data accumulated by deploying over 1,400 sets of L4 vehicles and kits can continuously feed back algorithm iteration, forming a positive self-reinforcing closed loop of operation generating data, data optimizing algorithms, and algorithms supporting larger scale operations. This allows system capabilities to continue to evolve with the expansion of operation scale, forming a growth synergy of mutual empowerment with the scenario flywheel.
Growth driven by dual flywheels has already been converted into a solid market leading position. According to authoritative data from Frost & Sullivan, Unifly Technology's market share in the L4 commercial vehicle autonomous driving market for airport and factory scenarios in the Greater China Region is ranked first in both, among which the market share in the airport scenario reaches 90.5%. So far, the company's cumulative true unmanned autonomous driving mileage has exceeded 10.2 million kilometers, business coverage in 6 countries and regions, 249 customers. Among them, 21 airports at home and abroad have achieved unmanned commercial landing of "no safety officer", including 17 domestic airports, as well as covering overseas benchmark airports such as Singapore Changi and Qatar Hamad, and global layout continues to deepen.
While breaking through its own technology and business continuously, Unifly Technology is also opening its own technology deposits to the entire industry, promoting the overall development of the Physical AI industry. The company has condensed ten years of autonomous driving industrial knowledge into an open platform, officially open-sourcing the "Zhaofu" AI Software Factory (Coding Harness Platform). It turns industry accumulation into open AI programming workflows, building deployable technical solutions facing unmanned driving and embodied intelligence, connecting the Coding AI and Physical AI links, enabling Physical AI capabilities to not only serve its own business but also empower full-industry developers, jointly promoting the industry landing process.
Adhering to the vision of "Being the World's AI Driver", Unifly Technology has always moved forward steadily along clear long-term directions. Within the next 3 years, Unifly will continue to consolidate its generational leading position in the field of airport unmanned driving; on this basis, within 5 years, gradually build a global leading position for commercial vehicle unmanned driving, while continuously advancing passenger car towing technology and supply chain capabilities; eventually grow into the world's largest new labor force provider, and continuously explore more application possibilities in the Physical AI field.
In the future, with the continuous polishing of full-scenario general technology capabilities and the steady promotion of global layout, Unifly Technology will gradually expand the commercial landing scale of AI Drivers, deliver reliable intelligent capacity support to thousands of industries, and work with industry partners to promote autonomous driving to smoothly enter a new stage of scaled scenario applications.
