On the morning of March 16, the announcement of the strategic cooperation between Skyworth Group and Baidu Company ended. The reporter from China National Grid reported that the two Baidu self-driving cars were in sight.
The two cars were black and white, apparently from the Lincoln car. The black car was being commissioned. Entering the white car, the Pad showing the road traffic status information and the device displaying the speed data were also displayed.
However, the personnel who had just entered the car and were preparing for debugging outside said that the two vehicles are currently only open to Baidu employees.
According to Xinhua News, on March 15, Li Yanhong, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman and chief executive officer of Baidu, stated at the 'member channel' of the 13th session of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference that the unmanned vehicles will achieve small-scale production this year. This year, it will cooperate with Jinlong Bus to launch the unmanned car 'Apollon', a minibus that will initially operate in relatively closed and restricted roads such as scenic spots and docks. Starting next year, Baidu will cooperate with some mainstream depots to launch unmanned vehicles. The driving family car can achieve a high degree of automatic driving.
For example, Li Yanhong said that from Beijing to Shanghai, as long as the expressway is open, you can 'eat a hot pot and sing a song' until the vehicle reminds you that it will take a high speed and you need the driver to take over.
Li Yanhong predicts that in the next 3 to 5 years, driverless cars that can replace drivers on the road to full open will emerge.
