Apollo Go is Baidu’s autonomous ride-hailing service. In its first-quarter 2026 results, Baidu said Apollo Go delivered 3.2 million fully driverless operational rides in the quarter, with weekly rides peaking at over 350,000 in March, and that cumulative rides to the public exceeded 22 million as of April 2026.¹ In its second-quarter results, Baidu said Apollo Go’s global footprint had reached 28 cities and that its fleets had accumulated over 350 million autonomous kilometers, including over 240 million fully driverless kilometers; the releases we opened do not state a fleet size.²

It says fees were permitted in Wuhan from August 8, 2022, with fully driverless operations across practically the entire municipality from June 19, 2024, that it has charged for fully driverless rides in Chongqing since August 8, 2022, and that it has charged fees in Beijing since August 10, 2023; it lists Shenzhen, Shanghai, Chengdu, Haikou and Sanya as cities with fully driverless operations without stating fares.³ Outside mainland China, Dubai Taxi Company and Baidu’s Apollo Go began fully driverless commercial service in Dubai in the spring of 2026, with an initial fleet of 50 vehicles,⁴ Apollo Go with AutoGo launched fully driverless public service on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, as reported in January 2026,⁵ and PostBus and Apollo Go started trials in eastern Switzerland in June 2026 with safety operators aboard.⁶ In Hong Kong, Apollo Go has begun testing on Airport Island under Transport Department approval, and we found no paid public rides there.²
