萝卜快跑抢跑无人车右舵:香港率先全无人,伦敦直面Waymo
TL;DR - Baidu’s Apollo Go began Hong Kong’s first fully driverless public-road test and announced London trials. The expansion tests whether its Robotaxi platform can adapt to right-hand-drive, left-side traffic and strict overseas regulation.
- Hong Kong approved safety-driver-free testing on Airport Island after staged validation.
- London testing will involve Uber and Lyft-owned Freenow, with public service targeted for 2027 pending approval.
- Localization requires adapting prediction and planning to roundabouts, bus lanes, yielding rules, curb access, and local driving behavior.
- London places Apollo Go and Waymo in the same complex regulatory and traffic environment for the first time.
