\nSelf-driving cars are taking ages to become a reality, but they won\u2019t take forever<\/br>

The spotlight of hype<\/span> has lit up<\/a> many areas<\/a> since autonomous driving had its own time in the sun<\/a>, but progress in the technology is chugging along. It\u2019s clear that the dream of not having to drive ourselves around is not dead, given the rising tallies of miles driven by bots, greater commercialization, and other headlines.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>There\u2019s a lot of good news to be found. Today, Chinese technology giant Baidu revealed<\/a> an interesting set of datapoints regarding Apollo Go, it\u2019s \u201cautonomous ride-hailing service\u201d:<\/p>\n

\n

Apollo Go, Baidu\u2019s autonomous ride-hailing service, provided around 660K rides in the first quarter of 2023, up 236% year over year and 18% quarter over quarter.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The company also reminded investors that Apollo Go was the first to receive permits in Beijing to \u201coperate ride-hailing services with no driver or safety operator in the vehicles\u201d this March.<\/p>\n

So if we presume an average trip of, say, two miles (3.2 kilometers), Apollo Go racked up north of one million miles in the first quarter alone. That\u2019s a lot of autonomous driving.<\/p>\n

Baidu\u2019s update follows other progress reports from self-driving car outfits: Cruise\u00a0a couple of months ago said<\/a> it had completed \u201cone million fully driverless miles\u201d in the 15 months since it started offering fully driverless rides.<\/p>\n

We also covered Cruise\u2019s geographic expansion<\/a> earlier in May:<\/p>\n

\n

Cruise is rolling out its self-driving cars to more cities \u2014 specifically, to Houston and Dallas as it expands its Texas-based presence. Cruise already started testing its vehicles in Austin at the end of last year, and announced plans to begin testing its Origin built-for-purpose robotaxis there earlier in 2023.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Alphabet\u2019s Waymo self-driving effort has also expanded its own operating area<\/a>:<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
