Robin Li, chief executive officer of Baidu Inc, China's largest online search company, said he is betting on the future of artificial intelligence.

Li, whose company has applied artificial intelligence technology to vehicles, said self-driving cars will be quite common on the roads in three to five years.

"More important, cars will be more like a computer on wheels," he said, adding that people are expected to be able to connect with each other through their cars.
