Chongqing and Wuhan's policy has significant nodal significance for the Robotaxi industry: first, it eliminates the safety officer, not only from the main driver's seat, but also from the entire vehicle, allowing for unmanned operation in the vehicle, which has already achieved the true meaning of Robotaxi; second, it adopts a true commercial operation method, where ordinary consumers can ride the experience on a daily basis and pay for it.
With this policy, the two cities are running at the forefront of autonomous driving throughout China and even the world, and if the operation is successful, it will also rewrite the history of the entire autonomous driving field.
Previously, the prospects of Robotaxi were divided in the automotive industry, such as Huawei's former president of the intelligent driving product line, Su Qi, who asserted that "any company doing Robotaxi at this stage will be finished. Today, Robotaxi is being implemented in more and more cities, and even the elimination of safety officers is being experienced by more and more ordinary consumers.
The seemingly "impossible" is slowly changing the automotive industry and our daily life.
Baidu has become the only company in Chongqing and Wuhan to be granted permission to operate a fully unmanned self-driving paid mobility service in the car.
In 2013, Baidu set up the Deep Learning Institute and began laying out autonomous driving, and in 2015 it officially established the Autonomous Driving Division and in 2017 it launched Apollo, the world's first open platform for autonomous driving. By the end of March 2022, Baidu will have developed more than 100,000 open source code. By the end of March 2022, Baidu ranked first in China with more than 4,000 patent applications for autonomous driving in China.
At the level of autonomous driving testing, the Apollo test fleet has reached the level of 500 vehicles, with open road testing in nearly 30 cities around the world and over 32 million kilometers of actual road testing on urban roads. Baidu has obtained 672 autonomous driving test licenses in China, including 498 manned test licenses.
