Baidu Inc has announced a strategic partnership with Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority to deploy 100 fully autonomous vehicles in urban Dubai by the end of 2025. This initiative marks Apollo Go's first international fleet deployment outside of China and aims to expand to 1,000 vehicles by 2028. Additionally, a partnership with UAE-based Autogo will facilitate the deployment of a driverless fleet in Abu Dhabi, with trials set to begin soon.
The move highlights China's growing presence in the autonomous vehicle sector, as companies like Baidu are rapidly advancing their technologies. While Baidu's Apollo Go has already completed over 150 million kilometers in China, competitors like Pony.ai and WeRide are also expanding their operations. This competitive landscape indicates that China is not only catching up with the U.S. in AI but is also making significant strides in self-driving technology.
