In September 2021, the newly established joint-venture company Jidu Auto, established on the initiative of Geely and Baidu, presented the first photos of deeply camouflaged prototypes heralding the production model of the Chinese company. [1] The debut of the finished car was preceded by the presentation of the Robo-01 Concept prototype in June 2022, announcing the key features of the vehicle's appearance [2] and the company's plans for the coming years as part of the "Roboday" event. [3] Ultimately, the debut of the model originally called Jidu Robo-01 took place at the end of October 2022. [4] Less than a year later, in August 2023, the car was officially renamed Ji Yue 01. [5]

[6] Both the front fascia and the rear part of the body are decorated with full-width light strips made in Full LED technology, while a slender roofline gently sloping towards the rear, and the number of concavities and recesses is kept to a minimum in favor of flat surfaces. The manufacturer has abandoned traditional door handles in favor of motion sensors, and the doors open unconventionally: the front ones swing up and the rear ones open "against the wind". [7] The futuristic and minimalist passenger cabin was distinguished by the lack of a traditional steering wheel in favor of a steering wheel, while the dashboard, devoid of switches and traditional instrument layout, was created by a large, 35-inch display running across the entire width of the cockpit and displaying images in 3D technology.
