According to Reuters, a person familiar with the matter said that Baidu will announce the first batch of its auto-driving software partners next week, including Chery Automobile.
According to Reuters, Baidu will announce the news in Beijing, and the decision is the result of Baidu’s research work in Silicon Valley 6,000 miles away. Although Reuters did not give specific time for the announcement of the news, Baidu will announce the news at Baidu AI Developer Conference (Baidu Create 2017), which will be held on July 5th. According to Baidu’s announcement, Baidu’s founder and CEO Li Yanhong, Baidu Group President and COO Lu Qi and Baidu’s technology leaders and senior scientists in other fields will attend the conference, and smart driving is a major topic of the conference. one.

In April, Baidu announced its autopilot project called Apollo. As can be seen from the name, this project not only reveals Baidu's ambition, but also demonstrates the difficulty of this project. In March of this year, Andrew Ng, the former head of Baidu's artificial intelligence business, and Wang Jin, the senior vice president of Baidu and the general manager of the original autonomous driving division, successively announced their resignation from Baidu.

Jingao Wang, head of trust at Baidu Silicon Valley’s driverless team, said in an interview that “the competition for talent is fierce and talent is never enough.â€
According to reports, Baidu and more than 30 other Chinese technology companies are working on the software and hardware needed to develop online and autonomous vehicles, and to fund related projects. The company represented by Baidu hopes to let the networked cars and self-driving vehicles get on the road in China, and apply the above technology to vehicles exported from China to foreign countries, and then occupy the US market.
Reuters said Baidu is Google in China, and said that Baidu is similar to Google's autopilot company Waymo, using its technology in the field of maps and artificial intelligence to develop the software and systems needed to automate vehicles. However, Baidu has at least one advantage over Waymo. That is, Baidu’s “figure†appears in the United States at least, and Waymo’s parent company, Alphabet, has no footprint in China, and Google also withdrew from the Chinese market in 2010.
