On top of being technologically advanced, one of the main highlights of the Apollo RT6 is its cost of production: at roughly $37,000 USD per unit, Baidu says it\u2019ll be able to offer dramatically lower taxi fares for commuters. \u201cThis massive cost reduction will enable us to deploy tens of thousands of AVs across China,\u201d CEO and co-founder Robin Li explained. \u201cWe are moving towards a future where taking a robotaxi will be half the cost of taking a taxi today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re interested in hailing a ride on the Apollo RT6, Baidu will be launching the fleet in China sometime in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chinese tech giant Baidu just unveiled a new self-driving taxi design over at its annual conference, Baidu World 2022, and the company claims it can cut commuting fairs dramatically.
