Self-driving

In September 2022, WeRide launched its Singapore company and signed a memorandum of cooperation with a subsidiary of a local public transport operator in November.

Passenger cars integrated with Driver 3.0 will be available at an established car brand this year, DeepRoute said.

To date, Baidu's Apollo Go has been offering fully driverless ride-hailing services in Beijing, Wuhan and Chongqing.

Haomo DriveGPT has now completed model building and validation of the first phase of data, with parameters comparable in scale to GPT-2.

Tesla has pioneered the autonomous driving 3.0 era, and Haomo is most likely to be the first Chinese company to do the same, analyst says.

Baidu's self-driving unit Apollo plans to put 200 fully driverless vehicles into operation in China in 2023 to create the world's largest driverless operations service area.

Baidu became the first in the industry to receive advanced assisted driving map permits in three Chinese cities.

The solution offers automakers a solution better suited to China's road scenarios and is expected to reach mass production levels by mid-2023, QCraft said.

Baidu said it plans to scale up Apollo's operations and launch fully unmanned self-driving services in more regions in 2023.

Baidu and Pony.ai will both put 10 test vehicles in a 60-square-kilometer test area in Beijing with no one in the front row.
