Baidu's robotaxi unit is exploring expansion into global markets in the 'near future'

Chinese tech company Baidu announced Monday it can sell some robotaxi rides without any human staff in the vehicles.

BEIJING — Chinese tech company Baidu 's robotaxi unit, Apollo Go, is in talks with several firms to expand into overseas markets in the "near future," according to a source familiar with the matter.

No details on timing or regions were available.

Baidu is one of the major operators of robotaxis in China. Regulators in parts of Beijing and cities such as Wuhan — Apollo Go's largest operating region — have allowed companies to commercially operate self-driving taxis after years of just permitting internal testing.

Tesla is scheduled to hold its widely anticipated robotaxi event on Thursday.
