Baidu's General Manager of Autonomous Driving Technology, Xu Baoqiang, mentioned the possibility of using 'Tesla's specific application models' and exploring 'possible cooperation opportunities' between the two brands.
Baidu and Tesla have been collaborating since 2020; Tesla has been relying on Baidu for in-car mapping and navigation tech. With Tesla planning to launch its robotaxi in China, the two companies are getting closer.
Baidu, known for creating HD mapping of major Chinese cities, could offer this tech to companies for their self-driving products. Despite Baidu's latest robotaxi platform launch, the company is still interested in potential collaboration with Tesla.
Xu Baoqiang highlighted the need for further observations on Tesla's robotaxi business model, its entry into the Chinese market, and suggested potential collaboration opportunities with a focus on users within the robotaxi industry, pending Baidu's careful consideration.
