Apollo Go
Apollo Go (NASDAQ: BIDU) is a publicly traded Robotaxi / AV company founded in 2020 and based in Beijing, China.
Apollo Go is an autonomous ride-hailing service operated by Baidu, with headquarters in Beijing, China. The service runs fully driverless vehicles on public roads without a safety driver, and riders book trips through a mobile app. It is built on the Baidu Apollo autonomous driving stack. Its RT6 robotaxi is a sixth-generation vehicle designed for driverless operation rather than retrofitted from a production car, carrying Baidu's full sensor suite and onboard compute for Level 4 urban driving. Revenue is generated from ride-hailing fares; operations are partly self-run and partly carried out through platform partners including Uber and Lyft. Apollo Go is a division of the publicly listed Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) and does not report separate funding.
Apollo Go runs fully driverless ride-hailing on public roads in Wuhan, Beijing, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi, and reported over 3.2 million fully driverless rides in the first quarter of 2026. Its RT6 vehicle is purpose-built for driverless operation, with Baidu citing a manufacturing cost under $30,000 as central to scaling fleets. Operations run partly self-run and partly through platform partners such as Uber and Lyft, linking autonomous fleets to existing ride-hailing demand. As a Baidu division, its development is backed by the parent company's listed balance sheet.
