Baidu talks about using Tesla Robotaxi in China

Hey there, are Baidu and Tesla getting closer to a major partnership in China? Let's find out.

Baidu is considering using Tesla’s upcoming Robotaxi in China.

Following Elon Musk’s recent visit to China,

Tesla seems to have made progress toward bringing its ‘Supervised Full Self-Driving’ to the country.

The automaker has reportedly secured conditional approval to deploy the system in the market.

Now, a report from Shanghai Securities News states that a Baidu executive said that the company is looking to use Tesla’s upcoming Robotaxi.

It would be interesting to see Baidu partner with Tesla on self-driving.

Tesla has often said that it would be willing to supply and license its self-driving technology to other companies,

and recently said that it is in discussion with a major OEM.

The real question is: does Tesla want to partner with Baidu on this, or is it being asked to as part of the approval process?

China is notoriously protectionistic when it comes to foreign companies operating in its market.

Stay tuned for more updates on this potential collaboration.
