Meanwhile, China’s largest rental car platform, CAR Inc., is adding some of Baidu’s robotaxis to its fleets, allowing customers to rent a fully driverless car at an extremely low price in a major Chinese city. Baidu CEO Robin Li said the multi-year deal represents “a major milestone” in deploying Baidu’s technology on a global scale. Before the partnership with Baidu, Uber had worked with three self-driving car companies with Chinese backgrounds, namely US-listed WeRide and Pony.ai, as well as General Motors-backed Momenta. However, the Baidu RT6 sports utility vehicles that the service uses are only available at select pickup and drop-off locations in the city. The 4.8-meter-long, four-seater RT6 SUV is the sixth generation of Baidu’s robotaxi, manufactured by Chinese automaker JAC at a cost of around RMB 250,000 ($34,825).
