Baidu’s robotaxis

 

• Baidu announced Monday it became the first robotaxi operator in China to obtain permits for selling rides with no human driver or staff member inside the vehicles.
• The initial scale of the permits is small: 10 robotaxis divided between two suburban areas of Wuhan and Chongqing, two major Chinese cities.
• In the U.S., Alphabet’s Waymo and GM’s subsidiary Cruise can already run public robotaxis with no human staff in the vehicles.
