Baidu

Baidu is the sixth company to receive a permit to test without a safety officer in California, which allows it to test three fully autonomous vehicles on designated streets within the city of Sunnyvale in Santa Clara County.

Chinese search engine giant Baidu has recently launched a Beta version search page for developers with a much simpler interface.

Chinese search engine giant Baidu's high-definition maps will be powered by the BlackBerry QNX Neutrino RTOS (real-time operating system) and will be used in the upcoming GAC Aion vehicles.

In the past two months, Baidu's stock price has risen nearly 90 percent. As of the close of trading on January 22, Baidu's market capitalization exceeded $86 billion, returning to its peak of three years ago.

Chinese search engine giant Baidu has applied for a new patent that allows users to tuck away message notifications by blowing on them, according to data provider Qichacha.

Baidu started the process of secondary listing in Hong Kong on January 20 and plans to formally submit its listing application in Hong Kong after the Chinese New Year, according to Tencent News.

Baidu plans to list in Hong Kong as soon as the first half of 2021, possibly selling about 5 percent to 9 percent of its share capital, Bloomberg said, citing people familiar with the matter.

It is expected to speed up the large-scale application of Robotaxi and accelerate high-level autonomous driving technology towards commercialization.

Baidu said it had gone through a tough time over the past two years and is now back on an upward trajectory with a U-shaped share price performance.

After receiving the L4 autonomous driving test license, the Hongqi EV self-driving car jointly developed by Baidu and FAW Hongqi will conduct autonomous driving tests in Qinhuai District, Nanjing.
