On April 16, Baidu introduced its new automated driving assistance system, Apollo City Driving Max. The Chinese tech giant claims that the system will enable vehicles to complete point-to-point navigation by themselves, covering major driving scenarios from Chinese highways to urban roads. The system will incorporate two automotive-grade computer chips from Nvidia, which can perform up to 508 trillion operations per second (TOPS). Additionally, it will use high-definition maps at a much lower cost than those of its competitors, according to Rob Chu, a corporate vice president of Baidu. The company also announced that Voyah, the electric vehicle unit of Chinese automaker Dongfeng, will use Baidu’s Apollo Highway Driving Pro system for automated highway driving for its vehicles. The revamped version of the brand’s large-sized crossover Free is scheduled for launch in Shanghai on Tuesday. [Baidu announcement, in Chinese]
