As of late 2025/early 2026, Apollo Go had surpassed 17 million cumulative rider orders and expanded to ~22 cities worldwide, including Wuhan, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chongqing, and Hong Kong domestically, plus international operations in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Baidu designs its own electric robotaxi vehicles (the sixth-generation Apollo RT6, built on its Apollo Galaxy / Xinghe self-driving platform, at ~204,600 RMB / ~$28,600 per vehicle, roughly half the prior generation's cost). Wuhan is its largest and flagship deployment (1,000+ vehicles), where Apollo Go reached per-vehicle profitability. Baidu received China's first fully-driverless commercial robotaxi permits (Chongqing and Wuhan, August 2022). The company reports its driverless fleet averages ~10.14 million km between airbag deployments. Apollo Go has announced forward plans to scale to tens of thousands of vehicles across Chinese mega-cities and to expand into Europe (including a vehicle-supply agreement with Lyft, Aug 2025).
