Baidu

Baidu has partnered with Geely to create a new brand, Jiyue, with the first model, the Jiyue 01, entering a catalog of regulatory filings and is expected to debut in the fourth quarter.

Great Wall is teaming up with Baidu to explore the use of Ernie's AI model technology in its production vehicles.

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

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

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

After L2 assisted driving, the next one to be commercially available first will be L4 autonomous driving technology, not L3, which is in the middle, according to Baidu's CEO.

Baidu began offering self-driving ride-hailing services without safety officers in Chongqing and Wuhan, marking a regulatory breakthrough in the sector in China.

Baidu aims to put a large fleet of mass-produced Apollo RT6 vehicles into trial operation on its Robotaxi platform Apollo Go in the second half of 2023.

The accident was caused by a truck that failed to maintain an adequate safety distance, and the driver of the truck was found to be fully responsible.

In China, cars priced around RMB 200,000 are seen as offering the best balance of affordability and specifications.
