  • In November 2024, Baidu was granted a permit to test its robotaxi platform in Hong Kong - the first ride hailing operator to receive such a permit. CEO Robin Li talked about autonomous driving. Baidu and Tesla have a partnership where Baidu supplies hypermapping (super detailed mapping data) across China.

The article from NextBigFuture discusses the advancements made by Baidu and its autonomous driving platform, Apollo Go, in the realm of self-driving cars and robotaxis. Baidu has been actively expanding its robotaxi services in China, with significant progress in cities like Wuhan, Chongqing, and Beijing. Apollo Go has achieved over 5 million fully driverless rides, showcasing its capability to handle complex urban environments. Baidu is also working on enhancing its technology to reduce costs and improve safety, aiming for full commercial operations. Additionally, Baidu has partnered with various automakers to integrate its autonomous driving technology into their vehicles, signaling a move towards mass production and broader market penetration. The company's efforts are part of a larger trend in China to lead in autonomous vehicle technology, with ambitions to make robotaxis a common mode of transportation.
