Thank you to TapTechNews readers for the clues provided by Xichuangjiushi, Hangkong Mr., and I snatched a thread! TapTechNews reported on May 15th that Xu Baoqiang, general manager of Baidu's autonomous driving technology department, said today that Baidu will consider possible cooperation opportunities with Tesla's upcoming Robotaxi (shared taxi) based on Tesla's specific application model and the pace of entering the Chinese market. Musk once revealed on Twitter that Tesla plans to launch driverless taxis (Robotaxi) on August 8, 2024. Tesla also stated that the next generation car platform will include cheaper cars and fully automated driving taxis. In late April of this year, it was reported that Tesla would clear key obstacles to the launch of advanced driver-assist functions in China through cooperation with Baidu in mapping and navigation functions. On April 28th, Tesla CEO Musk came to China, and foreign media called it a surprising visit. After Musk's arrival in China, Tesla's official Weibo account mentioned accelerating the landing of automatic driving technology twice. Details can be found in TapTechNews' previous reports. Subsequently, informed sources stated that in the map approved by the Ministry of Natural Resources at that time, the lane-level map GS (2023) 4634 submitted by Baidu Zhitu Technology Co., Ltd. for navigation is the lane-level map completed by the cooperation between the two parties, and the cooperation between Tesla and Baidu Maps this time is exclusive and deeply customized. Musk once stated that one of the reasons for choosing August 8th to release the Tesla self-driving taxi Robotaxi is that this date is considered auspicious in China. Part of the reason is indeed because August 8th is an auspicious number in China! In addition, it is also the 17th birthday of my triplets.
