Title: AI-Powered Autonomous Ride-Hailing Expands: How Apollo Go and Waymo Are Reshaping Urban Mobility

China, 19th Mar 2025 - As artificial intelligence continues to redefine industries, the transportation sector is experiencing a major shift. Autonomous driving technology is moving toward large-scale implementation, with industry leaders actively rolling out services in multiple cities. Among them, Google’s Waymo and Baidu’s Apollo Go are at the forefront, driving the future of autonomous mobility. Waymo, a trailblazer in autonomous driving, has launched commercial ride-hailing operations in four major U.S. cities, providing approximately 150,000 rides per week. With plans to expand testing to over 10 additional cities, including Las Vegas and San Diego, Waymo is accelerating its dominance in the U.S. market.Meanwhile, Baidu’s Apollo Go has solidified its position as China’s leading autonomous ride-hailing service. By February 2025, Apollo Go achieved fully driverless operations across China, removing the need for safety drivers. According to Baidu’s latest data, Apollo Go completed 1.1 million rides in Q4 2024, averaging 12,000 rides per day, placing it among the world’s largest autonomous ride-hailing providers. Together, Waymo and Apollo Go are shaping the next chapter of AI-driven mobility in the U.S. and China.The Technology Behind Large-Scale DeploymentWhen autonomous driving reaches a scale of tens of thousands of rides per day, efficient operations become essential. The RT6, powered by Baidu's 6th generation Apollo autonomous driving system, is one of Apollo Go’s key enablers for high-efficiency deployment. This fully autonomous vehicle is equipped with advanced battery-swapping technology, allowing each car to recharge in under four minutes, maximizing service capacity. Additionally, the RT6 features full-dimensional redundancy and a six-layered Multi...
