Baidu could start testing its Apollo Go robotaxi service in Europe this year


Baidu's Apollo Go robotaxi service is making its debut in Europe later this year, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Back in March, the company announced that it was deploying 100 fully autonomous cars in Dubai, with plans to expand its fleet to 1,000 vehicles in the city by 2028. One of the companies Baidu will be competing with in Europe is Uber, which signed a deal with Chinese self-driving startup Momenta earlier this month. When Baidu does start testing its vehicles its Switzerland, they'll most likely have drivers behind the wheel before the company progresses to fully driverless trials.
