It’s official: @lyft and @Baidu_Inc are bringing AVs to London 🇬🇧 Riders across the city will be the first in the region to experience Baidu’s Apollo Go vehicles. We expect to start testing our initial fleet with dozens of vehicles next year - pending regulatory approval - through the Lyft and Freenow ecosystem, with plans to scale to hundreds from there. (Details ⬇️) - Baidu is the world’s largest AV operator with 17M+ cumulative rideshare rides, 22 cities globally - 240M+ km of autonomous driving, and 140M+ km completed in fully driverless mode - Fully-electric RT6 vehicles, purpose-built for rideshare Our hybrid network - AVs and drivers working together - will serve all of London’s travel needs. We’re working closely with Transport for London regulators and local communities to expand the rideshare market and create more opportunities for everyone. More to come, but can’t wait to see the future of mobility arrive in one of the world’s greatest cities.
