In Wuhan, China, residents are experiencing the future of transportation with the introduction of driverless taxis, also known as robotaxis. These autonomous vehicles are operated by Apollo Go, a unit of Chinese tech giant Baidu, and are offering rides at incredibly low prices, starting at just 4 yuan (55 cents) for a base fare.
The fleet of 500 driverless taxis in Wuhan covers approximately half of the city's population, with plans to expand to 1,000 cars by the end of 2024. This initiative aims to revolutionize urban transportation and reduce the need for personal vehicle ownership.
