In order to unlock Baidu's self driving vehicles the customer must also use a health code on the car, for pandemic prevention purpose.\nBaidu Apollo Go currently uses the FAW Hongqi electric vehicles: namely the Hongqi E-HS3 electric subcompact luxury SUV.\nThis means, if an accident happens, Baidu Apollo is responsible.\nNow Baidu Apollo Go has already acquired a permit to test driverless robotaxis in California (as well as three cities in China) and plans 3000 Level 4 robotaxis operating in 30 cities in the next three years.\nIn Beijing, Baidu will soon be competing with Pony.ai.
