On July 20, 2022, in Beijing, Xu Baoqiang, general manager of Baidu Autonomous Driving Vehicle manager, gave a press briefing on the Apollo RT6, a totally electric car with a "optional" steering wheel that could be inserted or deleted as needed. 

HONG KONG — On Thursday, the Chinese search engine and artificial intelligence company Baidu showcased its newest electric autonomous vehicle.

Baidu's robotaxi fleet will soon include the Apollo RT6 as China advances its goals for autonomous driving. It will cost 250,000 yuan ($37,000) per unit and be a totally electric car with a steering wheel that can be removed or added as needed.

“This massive cost reduction will enable us to deploy tens of thousands of autonomous vehicles across China,” Robin Li, co-founder and CEO of Baidu, said at the firm’s Baidu World conference Thursday.

“We are moving towards a future where taking a robotaxi will be half the cost of taking a taxi today.”

Baidu already operates Apollo Go, a self-driving robotaxi ride-hailing service with safety personnel sat in the driver's or passenger's seat. Apollo Go has been introduced in significant cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou, albeit the service is only available in a few locations.

The RT6 also achieved Level 4 of the industry's five available technological levels. This implies that while its systems can function without a driver, they must first be pre-loaded with a thorough map, which restricts the range of motion for the cars.

The lower levels of technology start with the long-used cruise control feature and go all the way up to Level 3, which enables hands-free highway driving. Self-driving robot carts are already often utilised in warehouses, factories, and other strictly regulated environments.

As opposed to prior versions when the technology was retrofitted on normal vehicles, the Apollo RT6 was especially created with autonomous driving in mind, the company claimed.

The absence of a steering wheel frees up more room for the installation of additional seating or other components, such as a game system or vending machine.

Although Baidu is best known for its search engine and online advertising solutions, the company has made significant investments in autonomous vehicle and artificial intelligence (AI) technology in recent years, including AI chips and automated personal assistants.

China wants to pioneer autonomous driving technology, but it is behind the United States in offering these services. In Phoenix, Arizona, Alphabet's Waymo started providing driverless taxi services in 2020.
