Baidu has helped develop the smart, connected automobile industry in six cities, including Beijing and Guangzhou

According to a commentary published by Xinhua News Agency, electrification, interconnection and intelligence have become the development trend and trend of the automobile industry.
Take driverless cars as an example. During the May Day holiday, Baidu Apollo launched the country's first "sharing driverless car" trial ride in Beijing's Shougang Park.
Baidu Apollo has become the first platform in China to officially carry out the normal commercial operation of driverless car sharing.
Before this, Baidu Apollo has already carried out autonomous driving test and intelligent transportation in Beijing, Guangzhou, Changsha and other pilot cities, helping six cities accelerate the construction of smart cities and promote the development of intelligent and connected automobile industry.

In Beijing, according to the Beijing Autonomous Driving Vehicle Road Test Report (2020) released by the Beijing Intelligent Vehicle Alliance Industry Innovation Center in 2021, Baidu Apollo will test 55 vehicles on Beijing's roads in 2020, with a test mileage of 1.12253 million kilometers.
In October 2020, Baidu Apollo opened the self-driving taxi manned test operation to the public in Beijing's Yizhuang, Haidian and Shunyi districts.

In Guangzhou, in 2020, Guangzhou Development Zone and Baidu Apollo signed a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly build the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Intelligent Network Pilot Area, and the two sides will carry out comprehensive cooperation in autonomous driving, intelligent transportation and other fields.
Baidu Apollo is deeply involved in the construction of intelligent network pilot area in Guangzhou Development Zone, jointly exploring a new mode of building "urban intelligent transportation operator", promoting the intelligent, convenient and efficient development of roads, travel and transportation, and helping the development zone to build a world-class artificial intelligence industrial cluster.

In Shanghai, on January 9 this year, Shanghai Fengxian District Government, Shanghai Lingang Group and Baidu Apollo signed a strategic cooperation agreement, the three parties will jointly promote the intelligent network industry in car, road, network, cloud and other fields of innovative research and development, testing, information security and demonstration applications.
Jointly promote intelligent network technology, industrial innovation and industrial ecological construction, promote the "future space" intelligent network industry related hardware and soft facilities and ecological environment construction;
Give full play to the technology and product advantages of Baidu Apollo, explore demonstration applications in Fengxian District, and realize the implementation of commercial scenes of automatic driving.

In Changsha, in order to build the "Demonstration City of Collaborative Innovation between Autonomous Driving and Vehicle and Road", Changsha City and Baidu Apollo jointly built APOLLOCITY in Changsha and Xiangjiang New District of Hunan Province in October 2018 to jointly explore and cooperate in future travel, smart city and other aspects, and strive to build Changsha into an autonomous driving city.
It has created a reference paradigm for Apollo to land in a larger range of autonomous driving and intelligent transportation.

In wuxi, 2020 state-level pilot area (wuxi) car networking development in jiangsu summit, wuxi, signing the agreement with baidu Apollo can automatic car driving, mutual coordination, smart car al areas such as in-depth cooperation, promote national jiangsu (wuxi) car networking forerunner area high quality development, accelerate the wisdom city project.

Recently, at the Baidu APOLO Intelligent Transportation Partner Conference held in Wuhan, Baidu also reached consensus and cooperation with hundreds of local enterprises in the intelligent transportation industry, jointly exploring the future of intelligent transportation application panorama, to help the development and construction of Wuhan smart city.

Currently, Baidu Apollo has become an important facilitator for the development of smart cities and the transformation of the intelligently connected automobile industry in China.
Baidu Apollo's autonomous driving area will also cover urban roads and expressways in 20 Chinese cities by the end of this year, and 100 cities by 2023, deploying at least 3,000 Baidu Apollo shared driverless cars to serve 3 million users, it said.

But Baidu Apollo is more than just an autonomous driving platform. It is moving into the larger field of intelligent transportation.
On April 9, 2020, Baidu Apollo officially released "ACE Intelligent Transportation Engine", the first disclosure of Apollo intelligent transportation solution, which is known as the first domestic and foreign vehicle-road integration of full stack intelligent transportation solution, is the optimal solution of intelligent transportation construction with Chinese characteristics.

Compared to traditional intelligent transportation solutions, "ACE intelligent transportation engine" is very forward-looking, not only has technical advantages, but also has the cost advantage.
It is the industry's only "both future-oriented, and compatible with the present" next generation intelligent transportation solution.
At present, Baidu Intelligent Traffic Engine has been implemented in more than 20 cities, helping local traffic management step into a new stage of intelligence and integration.
Beijing, Guangzhou, Changsha and other cities are also among them.

Today, with the continuous evolution of the concept of intelligent transportation, the Internet of Vehicles and autonomous driving gradually enter the daily travel of ordinary people. The ultimate goal of both of them is to help the realization of intelligent vehicles and promote the construction of intelligent transportation in cities.
At present, Baidu Apollo has formed three open platforms, namely, autonomous driving, vehicle-to-road collaboration and intelligent vehicle, to realize the layer upon layer penetration of the intelligent networked automobile industry from B to C and from end to cloud, which can effectively help cities realize the full-chain resonance of the intelligent transportation industry.
In the future, Baidu Apollo will accelerate the development of intelligent connected vehicles, improve intelligent road infrastructure, help build smart cities, and lead China's automobile industry to accelerate into the new era of intelligence.
