Baidu's Apollo Go Expands European Footprint as AmiGo, in Partnership with PostBus, Receives Level 4 Regulatory Approval in SwitzerlandJune 12, 2026 7:47 AM
PR Newswire (US) AmiGo, an on-demand autonomous mobility service between Baidu's Apollo Go and Swiss Post's PostBus, has received a special permit from Switzerland's Federal Roads Office (FEDRO) for Level 4 autonomous operations in Eastern Switzerland, confirming the service meets Switzerland's rigorous safety and quality requirements.Open-road autonomous driving trials began on June 1, 2026, across an approximately 80 km² service area in the cantons of St. Gallen, Appenzell Ausserrhoden, and Appenzell Innerrhoden.Provided all safety and regulatory requirements are met, regular fully driverless operations are expected to launch in early 2027, with Apollo Go powering what is set to be the largest planned automated public transport operation of its kind in Europe.BEIJING, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIDU and HKEX: 9888) today announced that AmiGo, the on-demand autonomous mobility service developed through a partnership between Apollo Go and PostBus, has received a special operating permit from the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO) for Level 4 autonomous operations in Eastern Switzerland. AmiGo vehicles have been conducting open-road testing since June 1, 2026, marking a major development in Apollo Go's European expansion and validating the global readiness of its autonomous driving technology.The FEDRO special permit confirms that AmiGo's vehicles and autonomous driving system meet Switzerland's clearly defined safety and quality requirements, underscoring the maturity and reliability of Apollo Go's globally proven technology. Autonomous driving trials with a safety operator on board now cover an approximately 80 km² service area across the cantons of St. Gallen, Appenzell Ausserrhoden, and Appenzell Innerrhoden."Automated driving evolves through real-world operating experience. That is exactly what AmiGo represents. With the largest trial of this kind, Switzerland is reaching a new dimension: multiple vehicles, a real service area, and a concrete public transport offering. The FEDRO permit provides the framework — with clear requirements, defined responsibilities, and the objective of learning from operations for the next steps," said Jürg Röthlisberger, Director of FEDRO."Receiving FEDRO 's special permit is an important milestone for AmiGo and a strong validation of our technology. Under Switzerland's rigorous safety framework, AmiGo represents an important step toward integrating autonomous mobility into the country's public transport system. We look forward to working closely with PostBus to deliver a safe, reliable, and sustainable service for communities in Eastern Switzerland," said Nan Yang, Vice President of Baidu and General Manager of Overseas Business Unit, Intelligent Driving Group."With AmiGo, we are making automated mobility in public transport tangible," said Stefan Regli, CEO of PostBus and member of the Executive Board of Swiss Post. "The special permit from FEDRO shows that we can implement operations step by step and under clearly defined safety requirements. Our focus is on building a safe and reliable service that meaningfully complements existing public transport."AmiGo brings together Apollo Go's RT6 vehicles and autonomous driving expertise with PostBus's deep knowledge of Swiss public transport operations. The service complements the existing public transport network, particularly in areas where conventional services reach their limits, and is fully electric and bookable via the AmiGo app.The next phase will involve a closed-group user trial, followed by initial rides without safety operators once all safety evidence is fully provided. The longer-term goal is to launch regular operations from 2027, with rides bookable via the AmiGo app. The service, which is expected to be the largest planned automated public transport operation of its kind in Europe, will be deployed using Apollo Go RT6 vehicles. Each RT6 vehicle is fully electric, carries up to three passengers, and is equipped with over 30 sensors enabling comprehensive environmental perception and real-time onboard data processing. The steering wheel is designed to be removed once the service transitions to fully autonomous operations.Apollo Go is the world's leading autonomous ride-hailing platform, with a proven track record of large-scale operations. In the first quarter of 2026, Apollo Go delivered 3.2 million fully driverless rides, with weekly rides peaking at over 350,000 in March, representing 120% year-over-year growth. As of April 2026, cumulative rides provided to the public exceeded 22 million. Apollo Go's global footprint now spans 27 cities, and its fleets have accumulated over 330 million autonomous kilometers as of May, including over 220 million fully driverless kilometers.About Baidu: Founded in 2000, Baidu's mission is to make the complicated world simpler through technology.

Baidu Advances Agent Portfolio to Embrace the Agent Era, Champions Daily Active Agents as Key MetricMay 13, 2026 2:13 PM
PR Newswire (US) Baidu Co-founder and CEO Robin Li proposed Daily Active Agents (DAA) as the defining metric as the industry enters the agent era.The company also unveiled a series of updates to its agent portfolio, including the general-purpose agent DuMate, the app and enterprise edition of the coding agent Miaoda, the upgraded digital human platform Baidu Yijing, and the upgraded self-evolving agent Famou Agent 2.0.The new full-stack AI Cloud is purpose-built for large-scale agent applications, set to empower organizations to harness AI at scale.BEIJING, May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIDU and HKEX: 9888), a leading AI company with a strong internet foundation, today introduced a new generation of AI agent products at Baidu Create 2026, its annual developer conference. The lineup includes the general-purpose agent DuMate, the app and enterprise edition of the coding agent Miaoda, the upgraded digital human platform Baidu Yijing, and the upgraded self-evolving agent Famou Agent 2.0.At Create 2026, Baidu Co-founder and CEO Robin Li made the case that the right metric for measuring success in the AI industry is Daily Active Agents (DAA) — a new index he proposed as the agent era's equivalent of the mobile internet's Daily Active Users (DAU).Li contended that tokens represent cost, not value, measuring input rather than output. "To measure the health of a platform or ecosystem, we should pay closer attention to DAA — the number of agents actively working and delivering results," he said. Li also predicted that global DAA could eventually surpass 10 billion.Li put forward what he called an "AI evolution theory," describing a three-layered transformation now underway: agents evolving from passive responders to autonomous executors that continuously learn from their environment; individuals evolving from ordinary users into super individuals who learn to coexist with AI; and enterprises evolving from human-to-human collaboration into mixed human-agent formations that operate as unified, super-organizations.DuMate: General-Purpose Agent That Redefines What AI Can DoAt Create 2026, Baidu launched the mobile edition of its general-purpose agent DuMate. With full real-time synchronization between mobile and PC, users can now initiate tasks anytime, anywhere, with 24/7 availability. Since its MVP release in March, DuMate has iterated rapidly and is now capable of reading screens, operating software, processing files, and connecting business systems end-to-end. DuMate has achieved state-of-the-art performance across multiple international agent benchmarks. As a general-purpose agent, DuMate is also a unified gateway, according to Li. "It seamlessly integrates Baidu Search AI API, Miaoda coding agent, and Famou Agent, allowing users to collaboratively perform a range of tasks including search, coding, deep research, data analysis, and application creation," Li said.Miaoda & MeDo: Coding Agent That Makes Software "Disposable"Miaoda marked another highlight of the event, with the launch of its app and enterprise edition. Miaoda is a coding agent that empowers anyone to bring their ideas to life without writing a single line of code. The new Miaoda app brings professional-grade vibe coding to mobile, with 90% of its own code generated by Miaoda itself. "Coding agents like Miaoda enable people with no coding knowledge to generate applications directly; the barrier is disappearing," Li said. "At the same time, development costs are being compressed to near zero. The software industry is being redefined." Li argued that "disposable software" — apps built for a single purpose and a single moment — is becoming reasonable, and that "this market could grow ten times over." Global developers can already access MeDo, Miaoda's international version, at medo.dev.Baidu Yijing: Digital Human Is Agent You Can See and TrustBaidu Yijing, rebranded from the Huiboxing platform, is a full-scenario digital human platform spanning live streaming, video production, and real-time interactive experiences, capable of generating highly interactive content ranging from minutes to several hours in length. "A digital human is simply an agent you can see," Li said. "Equipped with voice, facial expressions, and gestures, a digital human is more expressive and more trustworthy." Baidu Yijing is also taking its digital human capabilities global by launching an international edition that enables merchants and creators to easily generate digital human content, from e-commerce livestreams to digital human videos and beyond. Supporting the platform are three agent capabilities — script writing, video production, and intelligent editing — along with deep localization from the ground up. The platform supports 12 languages with native-level lip-sync accuracy and localized AI-powered content creation, helping merchants run round-the-clock digital human livestreams across multiple global markets.Reflecting on the above products, Li described a fundamental shift in the basic unit of productive capacity: where it was once a team, it is now a super individual. In the agent era, every developer is simultaneously a builder, founder, and creator.Famou Agent 2.0: Agent That Self-Verifies and Closes the Loop Can Evolve Without LimitBaidu's self-evolving agent Famou was upgraded to version 2.0 at Create 2026. A self-evolving agent like Famou is designed to address complex operational challenges across industries and help enterprises unlock meaningful productivity gains. The 2.0 version expands direct accessibility to domain experts across three high-value use cases: production scheduling, process optimization, and logistics planning. Commenting on Famou, Li noted that agents capable of self-verification and closed-loop execution could shift efficiency gains from linear to exponential. At one of the world's most sophisticated automated ports, for instance, Famou Agent autonomously identifies optimal solutions across berth scheduling, equipment allocation, and cargo prioritization, delivering a 10.21% performance improvement on top of an already highly optimized baseline. Famou Agent 2.0 has topped MLE-Bench, winning 9 of the 15 hardest tasks and outperforming agents built on other leading models.New Full-Stack AI Cloud: The Infrastructure Behind Agents at ScaleUnderpinning these agent applications is a series of infrastructure upgrades announced at the same event. Baidu AI Cloud announced a comprehensive upgrade, repositioning itself as a new full-stack AI cloud purpose-built for large-scale agent applications, with upgrades spanning Agent Infra and AI Infra. A dedicated cluster powered by Baidu's proprietary Kunlunxin AI chip has supported the training of a key model in the ERNIE 5.1 series. Earlier in May, Baidu released ERNIE 5.1, its latest foundation model, which ranked #1 among Chinese models on LMArena's text and search leaderboards.About BaiduFounded in 2000, Baidu's mission is to make the complicated world simpler through technology. Baidu is a leading AI company with strong internet foundation, trading on the NASDAQ under "BIDU" and HKEX under "9888." One Baidu ADS represents eight Class A ordinary shares.

This comes alongside Apollo Go's strategic collaboration with Dubai Taxi Company (DTC), the emirate's leading mobility service provider, bringing strong local operational expertise to support the service.The Apollo Go app is now available in Dubai, allowing residents and visitors to hail fully driverless rides. This launch represents a significant step forward in Apollo Go's plan — announced in March 2025 — to deploy a fleet of more than 1,000 autonomous vehicles in Dubai over the next few years. The collaboration with DTC further strengthens local operations and underscores the commercialization of fully autonomous mobility in the emirate."Our partnership with DTC represents a new chapter for autonomous mobility in Dubai. By combining our cutting-edge technology with DTC's local expertise, and through the launch of the Apollo Go app, our first international app deployment, we are creating a safe, efficient and scalable ride-hailing service that sets a new standard for the region.

The successful trials conducted over the past few months have demonstrated the vehicles' readiness, particularly in terms of safety, reliability, and operational efficiency, reinforcing our confidence in scaling this initiative," he added.This commercial launch follows a key milestone earlier this year.

Baidu and Uber Partner to Bring Apollo Go Autonomous Ride-hailing to Dubai in Collaboration with Dubai’s Roads and Transport AuthorityFebruary 10, 2026 7:57 AM
Business Wire
Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIDU and HKEX: 9888) and Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER), in partnership with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), today announced the next phase of their global partnership, bringing the Apollo Go autonomous ride-hailing service to the Uber platform in Dubai.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260210608046/en/Baidu and Uber Partner to Bring Apollo Go Autonomous Ride-hailing to Dubai
Expected to launch in the coming month, the fully autonomous vehicles will be available via the Uber app across select locations within the Jumeirah area, and the deployment will expand based on operational learnings and regulatory approvals across the city.


This collaboration also aligns directly with Dubai’s ambitious goal of having 25% of all transportation trips be autonomous by 2030.


For trips within the service area, passengers will have the opportunity to be matched with an Apollo Go vehicle when booking an Uber Comfort or UberX, or by selecting the “Autonomous” option in the Uber app. Fleet management will be handled by third-party operator New Horizon.


“Bringing Apollo Go to Dubai via the Uber platform marks a pivotal step in our mission to provide safe, efficient, and accessible autonomous mobility worldwide,” said Nan Yang, Vice President of Baidu and General Manager of Overseas Business Unit, Intelligent Driving Group. “As a key deliverable of the strategic partnership between Apollo Go and Uber announced last July, this deployment officially brings our autonomous ride-hailing service to Dubai, utilizing Uber’s vast network to turn our shared vision into reality.”


“We’re excited to partner with Baidu as we continue to grow our autonomous footprint across Dubai. Just as we helped millions of people try out EVs for the first time, we will expand consumer access to autonomous technology in major cities around the world,” said Sarfraz Maredia, Global Head of Autonomous at Uber. “With more than 20 AV partners already completing millions of autonomous trips annually, Uber is the global platform where the autonomous vehicle industry can launch at scale.”


This announcement comes on the heels of another market expansion last December, when the parties announced plans to bring the autonomous ride-hailing service to London, a right-hand drive market, as well as the inauguration of Apollo Go Park in Dubai in January, its first overseas operations and management hub.


As a leading autonomous ride-hailing service provider globally, Apollo Go has logged more than 240 million autonomous kilometers, of which over 140 million kilometers were completed in fully driverless mode. With a global footprint across 22 cities, Apollo Go's weekly ride count has recently surpassed 250,000, and the service has completed more than 17 million cumulative rides as of October 31, 2025.


About Baidu


Founded in 2000, Baidu's mission is to make the complicated world simpler through technology. Baidu is a leading AI company with strong internet foundation, trading on the NASDAQ under "BIDU" and HKEX under "9888." One Baidu ADS represents eight Class A ordinary shares.


About Uber


Uber's mission is to create opportunity through movement. We started in 2010 to solve a simple problem: how do you get access to a ride at the touch of a button? More than 72 billion trips later, we're building products to get people closer to where they want to be. By changing how people, food, and things move through cities, Uber is a platform that opens up the world to new possibilities.
