Uber and Baidu are partnering to deploy robotaxis in Asia and the Middle East starting in 2025. Baidu's autonomous vehicles will be integrated into the Uber app, allowing users in these regions to hail self-driving cars. The collaboration focuses on markets outside the US and mainland China, leveraging Baidu's autonomous driving technology and Uber's ride-hailing platform. This move positions both companies to capture a share of the growing autonomous vehicle market in these regions.
