"The unknown technical error caused robotaxis to suddenly freeze - and sometimes in dangerous spots such as the fast lane of roadways, according to Wired."
"Baidu is one of the largest robotaxi operators in China and has expanded to the Middle East. Last year, the company said it planned to deploy a fleet of more than 1,000 autonomous vehicles in Dubai over the next few years."
"The recent Baidu outage is the latest incident to raise questions about the safety of robotaxis and their impact on local communities."
"A widespread power outage in California last December wiped out traffic lights, causing Waymo vehicles to become stuck."
Baidu's Apollo Go robotaxis experienced a significant outage in Wuhan, China, affecting over 100 vehicles. Passengers were trapped for up to two hours due to a system failure, which caused the robotaxis to freeze in potentially dangerous locations. Local police are investigating the incident, but Baidu has not disclosed the cause. This incident raises concerns about the safety of robotaxis, a topic that has gained attention following similar issues with autonomous vehicles in other regions, including California.
