Chinese self-driving company Pony.ai announced Wednesday the launch of its Robotaxi service in Shanghai, covering a major urban section of the Jiading district in the northwest of the city.

Chinese driverless company AutoX unveiled its fifth-generation driverless system, AutoX Gen5, on Tuesday, with its core computing platform, AutoX XCU, reaching a new high in China's in-vehicle computing power.

Chinese tech giant Baidu's acceleration of the commercialization of its self-driving unit Apollo is bearing fruit.

It has a single-board computing power of 360TOPS and average power consumption of 5.5TOPS/W.

Horizon Robotics will soon launch Journey 5 with up to 128 TOPS of AI computing power on a single chip.

Baidu's smart driving unit Apollo continues to lead the charge on autonomous driving testing.

AVP (Apollo Valet Parking) is one of the key components of Baidu Apollo's autonomous driving technology, and now the company is getting it accepted by more and more car companies.

As self-driving technology develops rapidly in China, more and more cities are starting to pilot allowing the public to ride in such vehicles, with the central city of Zhengzhou becoming the latest.

Pony.ai is considering a US IPO for its to help it achieve its goal of commercializing its driverless ride-hailing service.

Horizon Robotics, a Chinese artificial intelligence chip startup that recently started supplying self-driving chips to Li Auto, has attracted a lot of cooperation from car companies.
