Chinese company Baidu challenges US Google and launches self-driving Geely cars
After Google recommended recently to stop continuing to develop the autonomous driving system and to prevent writing the word "Self Driving and Auto Pilot" on the cars they are working on, the Chinese auto giant Geely decided that it would cooperate with the Chinese company Baidu, which owns search engines in China and owns Also maps of China.
Baidu can provide Geely cars with the necessary data and maps that enhance the autonomous driving technology that Google has abandoned, which demanded its withdrawal from the field of self-driving and acknowledged the obligation and constant intervention of the driver, especially after the recent accidents that occurred because of these technologies, which it described as unsafe.
Indications show that Baidu wants to outperform Google and become the only Chinese company in the world that uses secure autonomous driving systems at the highest levels, and will use the Chinese company Geely to validate its future theories, which many of the followers of electric and smart cars consider a clear challenge to the American company Google.
Geely will cooperate with Baidu, the famous online sales website company Alibaba, and Didi Chuxing in selling, developing and marketing its new electric autonomous cars, especially after the long way Baidu has made in developing and manufacturing self-driving systems and has become one of the leading companies in this field, which qualifies it to excel in it globally .
