Watch: Baidu's Apollo Go Robotaxis Stop Dead On Highways In China | Here’s What Happened100 Baidu Robotaxis Suddenly Stop in Busy Wuhan Roads – Major Blow to Driverless Tech Imagine getting into a driverless robotaxi and the car suddenly stops dead in the middle of heavy traffic — with no driver to help. That’s exactly what happened in Wuhan, China, when at least 100 Baidu Apollo Go robotaxis ground to a halt due to a system failure. Passengers were stranded inside the vehicles while traffic descended into chaos. Wuhan hosts Baidu’s largest fleet of fully driverless robotaxis — over 1,000 vehicles operating without any human safety driver. Baidu claims its Apollo Go has covered over 300 million km autonomously (190 million km without a driver).
