Dreame Nebula NEXT Auto is strengthening its ties with top academic institutions, notably the University of California, Berkeley, as it pushes forward in developing AI-driven vehicles and advanced autonomous technologies. This collaboration reflects a sustained effort to build the foundational innovations that will define the future of intelligent mobility.

Through this partnership, Nebula NEXT engineers and senior leaders engaged with Berkeley experts in autonomous control, artificial intelligence, and smart transportation systems. Discussions centered on bridging cutting-edge research with practical vehicle applications, with a strong focus on safety, system control, and end-to-end AI integration.

Jake Ma, an executive at Dreame Nebula NEXT Auto, described the company’s vision: rather than simply creating a vehicle, the goal is to develop an intelligent “brain” for the physical world, with the car serving as a powerful platform capable of supporting the computational demands of modern AI models.

This visit is part of a wider strategy to ground Nebula NEXT’s innovation in deep technical partnerships. Collaborating with academic researchers is helping the company refine its capabilities in autonomous driving, intelligent systems, and integrated vehicle engineering.

Building on Dreame Technology’s expertise in precision engineering and AI innovation, Nebula NEXT is advancing from software-defined to AI-defined vehicles—where intelligence is embedded throughout the system, from perception and decision-making to chassis and powertrain functions.

The company’s approach focuses on embedding AI into the core mechanics of vehicle operation. This includes adaptive learning systems, multi-agent frameworks, and high-performance computing platforms designed to enable real-time responses in complex driving scenarios.

Nebula NEXT gained global attention at CES 2026 with the unveiling of its Nebula NEXT 01 concept, a four-door electric hyper-sedan capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.8 seconds, producing over 2,000 horsepower, and featuring a lightweight structure made from proprietary Blue Carbon Fiber.

The brand further expanded its visibility with a major appearance during the Super Bowl LVIII broadcast, strengthening its presence in the North American market and signaling its growing influence in the automotive sector.

Alongside high performance, the company remains focused on core innovation. Its platform integrates AI-native operating systems, zonal electrical architecture, and high-density computing to support scalable, intelligent vehicle ecosystems.

Now entering a new phase, Nebula NEXT is concentrating on execution, deeper engineering capabilities, and scalable technology development. The company is set to showcase new products and key innovations at a Silicon Valley event on 27 April 2026.

By combining global momentum, academic collaboration, and a strong engineering foundation, Dreame Nebula NEXT is positioning itself at the forefront of the shift toward AI-driven mobility.

Neolix, an international company specializing in autonomous logistics, has announced new developments in its RoboVan-as-a-Service (RaaS) offering, highlighting significant progress toward bringing on-demand autonomous delivery into mainstream use.

The company reports that its delivery platform has processed more than 1.5 million orders and logged over 40 million kilometers of self-driving operations, following rapid expansion across several Chinese cities. In Qingdao—where the service was first scaled—Neolix now operates one of the city’s largest autonomous delivery fleets, with daily orders surpassing 6,500 at peak times.

This achievement signals a shift in how autonomous delivery systems are designed and deployed. Instead of relying on fixed routes or requiring customers to purchase hardware, the RaaS model provides a flexible, network-driven service. Through a mobile app, users can summon an autonomous vehicle in real time for point-to-point deliveries, much like booking a ride through a ride-hailing platform.

Encouraged by these results, Neolix is moving into the next stage of growth. The company aims to roll out its RaaS service in 50 cities across China within the year, while also testing the model internationally in the United Arab Emirates, South Korea, Singapore, and Portugal. These pilot programs will help refine the service for different urban conditions and regulatory environments, supporting future global expansion.

The concept was first introduced in Qingdao in collaboration with Didi Freight in mid-2025. It was designed to address the fragmented and high-frequency delivery demands of small and medium-sized businesses. By offering flexible routing and pay-per-use pricing, the model makes autonomous delivery more accessible and can reduce costs by around 50% compared to traditional methods, while also enhancing reliability.

Neolix’s approach focuses on a large but often overlooked segment of the urban logistics market. In China, city-based distribution represents a multi-trillion-renminbi industry, yet much of the demand comes from small retailers, wholesalers, and local service providers with irregular and time-sensitive needs. The RaaS model caters to these requirements through a shared, on-demand network that supports a wide range of use cases—from restocking retail outlets and delivering fresh produce to handling pharmaceutical and industrial shipments—operating continuously to sustain urban supply chains.

At the core of this system is a combination of advanced vehicle autonomy and cloud-based coordination. Neolix has deployed Level 4 autonomous driving technology at scale, enabling vehicles to navigate complex city environments without relying on high-definition maps, which accelerates deployment in new regions. Meanwhile, a centralized control system connects all vehicles into a single network, enabling real-time dispatching and route optimization across large volumes of orders. As the fleet grows and expands geographically, this networked model enhances efficiency, reduces response times, and lowers incremental costs, strengthening scalability.

The company emphasized that as autonomous technology evolves, the industry is shifting its focus from standalone vehicles to integrated service ecosystems. Neolix aims to position autonomous delivery as a shared infrastructure that improves urban logistics efficiency and supports the digital transformation of supply chains.

With ongoing expansion and increasing operational capabilities, Neolix expects its RaaS solution to play a key role in the future of city logistics, offering a more adaptable and scalable alternative to conventional delivery systems.
