Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) launches its next-generation Apolong II autonomous minibuses in Guangzhou Huangpu District in southern China.
The Apolong II will be deployed in public parks, airports, business districts and residential communities.
The minibus doesn't have a steering wheel and is powered by the same advanced driving technologies as Baidu's Apollo Robotaxis.
The Apolong II can be customized to suit a variety of purposes, including for public transport, mobile policing, healthcare and industry scenarios.
Baidu's ( BIDU) Apolong series minibuses went into volume production in 2018 and have since deployed to 22 urban parks such as Beijing, Guangzhou, Xiong'an, Chongqing, and Foshan. |
