Delivering food, spraying disinfectant, sightseeing... In the past few years, intelligent connected vehicle enterprises have tried business in many scenarios in Hefei. Unlike these companies, Baidu Apollo is more focused on passenger transport. When the first 5G demonstration route for autonomous vehicles opened in Anhui, Baidu obtained the test license. "Baidu had been deeply involved in the construction of the 4.4-kilometer-long 5G demonstration route for autonomous vehicles in Anhui." According to the relevant person in charge of Baidu Apollo Hefei, the Baidu Apollo Go project has been piloted in Hefei for a long time, and the open test will be launched soon. Compared with the 4.4-kilometer demonstration route, the Apollo Go trial route is longer, and the road conditions are also more complex. It reaches Jinxiu Avenue in the north, Huizhou Avenue in the west, Zhongshan Road in the South and Shanghai Road in the East, with an operation area of 15 square kilometers, involving crossroads, T-junctions, etc. "A total of 10 intelligent connected vehicles are currently undergoing test runs. It is planned to start operation on August 10. By then, it will be open to the public." "The whole project is progressing rapidly, and Baidu has also felt the speed and warmth of Hefei." In the opinion of the person in charge of the Baidu Apollo Hefei, the city is very open and inclusive, providing a solid foundation for the new business to take root. "The information provided by the second opening of the road makes company confident to promote commercial operation, and the rich scenarios also provide space for enterprises to explore." "As for the second batch of open roads, I am very optimistic about the route from High-speed Railway South Station to the Government Affairs Center, and if the conditions are appropriate, we will participate actively.
