Baidu started testing its self-driving vehicles on the public roads of Xiongan New Area, Hebei Province, north China. Baidu’s Apollo Project aims to develop an open software platform for autonomous driving. The test is part of the company’s cooperation with the local authorities to build the new Xiongan area as a low-carbon, intelligent, livable area. Shang Guobin, director of the self-driving project, said: “A car must have accurate perception of its surrounding when it runs. The sensing system on the vehicles include the rotating lidar, with 64 beams, cameras, as well as radar in the front and at the rear of the vehicles” The test will last about two months and, later this year, is expected for the vehicles to be used for local residents commuting.
