Baidu said on Monday that it has received approval from Chongqing and Wuhan to offer paid services of fully driverless ride-hailing cars to passengers, with no drivers or safety personnel aboard. Baidu is the first Chinese company to obtain such a license. The company said in a statement that it will provide this service within a designated 13-square-kilometer area in Wuhan from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and within a 30-square-kilometer area in Chongqing from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wei Dong, vice president of Baidu’s Intelligent Driving Business Group, said that we have now reached an ultimate scenario that our industry has long desired.
