Apollo Go goes fully driverless on Uber in Dubai
Baidu's Apollo Go launched fully driverless rides on the Uber app in Dubai on August 20, which Uber calls the first live deployment of its multi-partner autonomous network on public roads. The service uses Apollo Go's sixth-generation RT6 robotaxi across the Umm Suqeim and Jumeirah areas, with riders on UberX or Uber Comfort matched to an autonomous vehicle or able to pick the autonomous option directly. Dubai becomes Apollo Go's first market running both its own app and a third-party platform in parallel.
