Baidu and Lyft Begin Road Tests for Apollo Go Autonomous Ride-Hailing Service in London
Baidu's autonomous ride-hailing platform, Apollo Go, has started road testing in London with Freenow by Lyft. The tests will initially take place in the borough of Brent under a controlled environment that includes safety operators on board to monitor performance across urban and suburban settings. This collaboration marks an expansion for Baidu’s Apollo initiative into European markets, leveraging its autonomous driving technology alongside Lyft's local ride-hailing infrastructure through Freenow. The partnership aims to evaluate how well the system performs in complex real-world conditions before potential commercial deployment.
