While the likes of Tesla, Uber, and Waymo grab most of the headlines in Western media when it comes to autonomous vehicle tech, Baidu is worth tracking too. The Chinese tech giant just saw its 100th self-driving bus roll off the production line this week, and it’s set to roll them out in China and Japan soon.
The 14-seater Apolong mini-bus features Level 4 autonomy, which means it can operate without a human driver behind the wheel in specific conditions and within geo-fenced areas.
