Early Days for Physical AI: D1EV Video Shows Off DeepRoute.ai's Remarkable Reversing Skills
A short clip from Chinese EV outlet D1EV showcases a driver-assist system handling a reverse maneuver few other cars can match, framing it as the first stirrings of true real-world reasoning in Chinese ADAS.

D1EV, a Chinese website covering the EV and smart-driving beat, posted a short video on September 1, 2026, tagged to DeepRoute.ai (Yuanrong Qixing), the Shenzhen-based autonomous-driving supplier. Authored by Chen Hao, the piece is essentially a video showcase built around one stunt: a driver-assistance system executing an unusually capable reversing maneuver.
The framing is deliberately provocative. The headline and accompanying notes ask what an intelligent-driving system with an actual brain ought to look like, and suggest that domestic Chinese ADAS has finally started to develop one. The clip is presented as an early, budding-stage example of physical AI — software that perceives and reasons about the physical world rather than simply following pre-mapped routes.
Readers should note the format, however: the page carries almost no written analysis, names no specific vehicle model, and offers no technical specifications. The evidence lives entirely in the video itself, with the surrounding text limited to rhetorical teasers about how far Chinese smart-driving technology has come.
