Didi is going head to head with Uber again, this time in Japan.
Didi Chuxing, China’s largest ride-hailing platform, launches its online taxi-hailing service in Osaka on Sept 27 as it seeks to take a share of the world’s third-largest taxi market, setting up another battle with familiar rival Uber Technologies.
The service, a joint venture with SoftBank Corp, will see over 10 local partner taxi companies – including Daiichi Koutsu Sangyo, Japan’s largest taxi fleet operator – use Didi’s artificial intelligence-powered dispatch and fleet management system, the Beijing-based startup said on Sept 27.
