It opens autonomous driving software and hardware solutions to developers and carmakers, and also carries Baidu's own robotaxi products and the Apollo Go mobility service. ## History Baidu started its autonomous driving research programme in 2013. In March 2017 it formed the Intelligent Driving Group (IDG) from the autonomous driving unit (L4), the intelligent vehicle unit (L3) and the connected car business; in April it launched the "Apollo programme" and opened the platform to developers worldwide. In 2017 the Ministry of Science and Technology announced that Baidu would host the national new-generation artificial intelligence open innovation platform for autonomous driving. In May 2024 Baidu Apollo released the sixth-generation robotaxi Apollo RT6, whose vehicle cost was 60% lower than the previous generation. In January 2025 the Apollo software framework received the ASIL D functional safety certification. As of 7 February 2025 Baidu held more than 5,500 autonomous driving patent families, ranking first globally in high-level autonomous driving patent families for three consecutive years. ## Related entries [[organization_baidu|Baidu]], [[organization_luobo_kuaipao|Apollo Go]], [[person_wang_yunpeng|Wang Yunpeng]], [[person_li_yanhong|Li Yanhong]] /organizations/baidu-apollo.html en zh en autonomous_driving_platform 2017 4 month 2017年4月 active 北京市（建有北京 Apollo Park 测试基地） relation_luobo_part_of_apollo organization_luobo_kuaipao part_of organization_baidu_apollo 旗下自动驾驶出行服务平台 organization_luobo_kuaipao s1 Constituent events or organizations organization_luobo_kuaipao Apollo Go /en/organizations/luobo-kuaipao.html true relation_apollo_part_of_baidu organization_baidu_apollo part_of organization_baidu 智能驾驶业务品牌与事业群组 organization_baidu_apollo s1 Part of organization_baidu Baidu /en/organizations/baidu.html false relation_wang_yunpeng_member_of_apollo person_wang_yunpeng member_of organization_baidu_apollo 智能驾驶事业群组（IDG）负责人 2023 11 month 2023年11月 person_wang_yunpeng s1 Members person_wang_yunpeng Wang Yunpeng /en/people/wang-yunpeng.html true relation_apollo_hq_beijing organization_baidu_apollo headquartered_in place_beijing organization_baidu_apollo s2 Headquartered in place_beijing Beijing /en/places/beijing.html false organization_baidu Baidu /en/organizations/baidu.html organization organization_luobo_kuaipao Apollo Go /en/organizations/luobo-kuaipao.html organization organization_shouqi_yueche Shouqi Yueche /en/organizations/shouqi-yueche.html organization person_li_yanhong Li Yanhong /en/people/li-yanhong.html person person_wang_yunpeng Wang Yunpeng /en/people/wang-yunpeng.html person part_of Constituent events or organizations relation_luobo_part_of_apollo organization_luobo_kuaipao part_of organization_baidu_apollo 旗下自动驾驶出行服务平台 organization_luobo_kuaipao s1 Constituent events or organizations organization_luobo_kuaipao Apollo Go /en/organizations/luobo-kuaipao.html true part_of Part of relation_apollo_part_of_baidu organization_baidu_apollo part_of organization_baidu 智能驾驶业务品牌与事业群组 organization_baidu_apollo s1 Part of organization_baidu Baidu /en/organizations/baidu.html false member_of Members relation_wang_yunpeng_member_of_apollo person_wang_yunpeng member_of organization_baidu_apollo 智能驾驶事业群组（IDG）负责人 2023 11 month 2023年11月 person_wang_yunpeng s1 Members person_wang_yunpeng Wang Yunpeng /en/people/wang-yunpeng.html true headquartered_in Headquartered in relation_apollo_hq_beijing organization_baidu_apollo headquartered_in place_beijing organization_baidu_apollo s2 Headquartered in place_beijing Beijing /en/places/beijing.html false en zh en org_kind Organization kind Autonomous driving platform founded Founded 2017年4月 org_status Status Active headquarters_note Headquarters 北京市（建有北京 Apollo Park 测试基地） 1 50 4 1 4 5
