Chinese self-driving startup Roadstar.ai said it plans to produce at least 100 self-driving vehicles this year, offer ride-hailing services and expand its presence in overseas markets, such as Japan, Europe and North America.

"We will launch 1,500 pre-assembled self-driving electric vehicles by the end of 2020, and propel the commercialization of autonomous driving technology by providing chauffeur services to improve city public transportation," said Tong Xianqiao, founder and CEO of Roadstar.ai.

Tong said he is bullish on the prospects of the self-driving sector and the company's accelerated steps to expand into overseas markets.
