Baidu Inc and state-owned Beijing Automotive Group Co’s collaboration on telematics and autonomous driving is almost ready for its coming-out moment, as industry and government join hands to push for self-driving vehicles within China.
A BAIC-built model equipped with Baidu technology will debut in April at the Shanghai auto show, BAIC chairman Xu Heyi said in interview at the CES 2017 trade show in Las Vegas. The two companies also plan to conduct road testing of a car that will be autonomous in limited environments by the end of this year.
