Baidu will offer the commercial robotaxi service with no driver present in some areas of the two cities via the company’s autonomous ride-hailing platform Apollo Go. Baidu said it would implement redundant monitoring and parallel driving to ensure passengers’ safety. Baidu has launched a pilot service on Apollo Go in various Chinese cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. In recent years, China has rolled out a series of policies to promote the development and commercialization of self-driving technology.
