Baidu's car-making division Jidu Auto today officially unveiled its robot car logo, marking the beginning of a new brand identity.
The logo is also the visual design of the Jidu brand, which is inspired by the robot car and combines the concept of "Pixel" with the letter "J", meaning "Pixel-J ", according to the company.
The "Pixel-J" symbolizes the entrance to the future, using pixels as the basic particles to convey the new connection between people and machines, and the future, Jidu said.
The design is bold and novel, considering its asymmetrical design is not a mainstream Chinese aesthetic.
interesting, feels like it's missing something, maybe that's the intent. https://t.co/Fts6at7jK9

Jidu was officially launched on March 2, 2021, and will build models based on Geely's Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform and Baidu's technology in the area of autonomous driving.
At the Baidu Create developer conference on December 27, 2021, the company's founder, chairman and CEO Robin Li said Jidu will unveil its first concept car robot in the first half of 2022, with mass production and delivery in 2023.
"The car robot is our judgment of the future of automotive development," Li said at the time, adding, "I am confident in Jidu's future and very excited about Jidu's car robot."
On January 5, Jidu said that its mock prototype Jidu SIMUCar for robot car development had successfully integrated intelligent driving functions for urban and high-speed scenarios, verifying the safety and reliability of the mass-production L4 autonomous driving capability in advance.
