A Robotaxi crossed two bridges over the Yangtze River in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province, making the city China's first to operate commercial autonomous ride-hailing services spanning the river.
This was reported by The Xinhua News Agency.
The driverless taxi service is developed and operated by Baidu's autonomous driving platform Apollo Go.
In 2023, the Wuhan test demonstration zone of intelligent connected vehicles in China alone recorded nearly 500 autonomous vehicles in regular operation, including autonomous taxis and driverless buses. During the period, Wuhan registered over 732,000 orders of travel services by autonomous vehicles, serving 900,000 trips, said local authorities.
So far, China has more than 20 cities which have launched policies supporting autonomous driving tests, with over 60 enterprises having obtained autonomous driving test licenses.
