- Baidu plans to launch its Apollo Go robotaxi service in Switzerland and plans to set up a local company there in the coming months.
- Baidu also plans to launch Apollo Go in Turkey, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Baidu is reportedly planning to launch its Apollo Go robotaxi service in Europe, bringing the service to more overseas markets besides Hong Kong.
The Beijing-based tech giant is in talks with PostAuto, a subsidiary of Swiss Post that provides public bus services, to launch its Apollo Go robotaxi service in Switzerland, the Wall Street Journal said in a report today, citing people familiar with the matter.
Baidu plans to set up a local company in Switzerland in the coming months and begin testing the technology by the end of this year, according to the report.
Baidu also plans to launch Apollo Go in Turkey, the people said.
Baidu forayed into autonomous driving technology in 2013 and is one of the first Chinese companies to enter the field.
So far, Apollo Go has been offering robotaxi services in more than 10 cities in the Chinese mainland.
In November last year, the Hong Kong government issued pilot licenses to Apollo Go, allowing it to conduct trial runs of self-driving cars in designated areas.
Earlier this month, the Baidu unit was allowed to expand its testing in Hong Kong.
In the Chinese mainland, robotaxi players also include smaller companies like WeRide (NASDAQ: WRD), Pony AI (NASDAQ: PONY), and Momenta, which are also expanding overseas.
In September 2024, WeRide entered into a partnership with Uber to advance the use of its robotaxis on the Uber platform.
In December 2024, the companies began robotaxi operation services in Abu Dhabi. Last month, WeRide and Uber expanded their partnership to Dubai.
Earlier this month, WeRide and Uber expanded their partnership with robotaxi services to cover 15 additional cities.
Pony AI and Momenta also announced earlier this month that they both have entered into strategic partnerships with Uber to bring robotaxis to the Uber platform.
