Apollo Go already operates fully autonomous taxis in several Chinese cities, including Beijing suburbs and Wuhan, where more than 70% of rides were driverless as of April. The company expects that figure to hit 100% in the coming quarters.

The Chinese internet giant is preparing to test its driverless ride-hailing service for the first time in Europe.

Chinese tech company Baidu's Apollo Go robotaxi business plans to expand to Europe this year, according to a source familiar with the matter.
