Baidu, Access Services team up for self-driving project

Search giant and US paratransit agency to launch pilot in Los Angeles by end of 2018

Internet search giant Baidu Inc said on Tuesday that it is working with Access Services, a US-based public paratransit services provider to launch a self-driving pilot project in Los Angeles by the end of this year, as the tech behemoth accelerated its expansion in overseas markets.

The project is set to provide short route self-driving vehicle services for persons with disabilities and senior citizen communities, said the company at the Consumer Electronics Show 2018 in Las Vegas.
