Baidu's Apollo Go began fully driverless testing on Hong Kong's Airport Island on July 27, after the city's Transport Department granted the first permit for a trial with no on-board safety operator on July 23. It is Hong Kong's first Level 4 autonomous trial without a safety driver and is reported to be the first fully driverless public-road test in any right-hand-drive, left-hand-traffic market, distinct from Apollo Go's separate safety-driver testing that began in London the same week.
