Chinese company, Didi Chuxing may be known by most as the world's largest ride-sharing company with a goal "to build a better journey," but its vision reveals its future ambitions: "to become a global leader in the revolution in transportation and automotive technology." With significant investment in artificial technology, Didi which means "beep beep" in Mandarin (like a car's horn), is focused on staying ahead of the competition. Harvard-educated Jean Liu, president of Didi Chuxing, is focused on growing the global footprint of the $56 billion-company that she leads. In China, the company has 550 million registered customers in more than 400 cities and delivers 30 million rides per day but its reach extends to Australia, Brazil, Japan and Mexico as well as Southeast Asia, India, Europe and Africa through various partnerships. Didi employs 7,000 people, nearly half who are engineers and data scientists, and they continue to recruit other tech professionals to support its artificial intelligence labs, autonomous vehicles and other tech operations.
