April 18 2019 - 10:59AM
Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIDU) unveiled its latest connected vehicle
solutions and enterprise applications with 14 partners at the 18th
International Automobile & Manufacturing Technology Exhibition
(Auto Shanghai 2019). DuerOS for Apollo, the automotive version of
Baidu’s conversational AI platform, is featured in several vehicles
from international and domestic automobile makers including Ford
Escape and Edge ST, Great Wall Haval H6, Chery EXEED TX/TXL,
Hyundai SANTA FE and KIA KX5/KX3. In addition, Baidu showcased its
collaboration with Panasonic on a concept car, as well as
applications of Apollo Enterprise solutions for the new vehicles by
WM Motor.
“Artificial intelligence is transforming the
automotive industry. Working with our partners, Baidu is building a
new framework for connected vehicle solutions and intelligent
transportation, and accelerating the transition of cars to
something more than vehicles of transportation. We believe DuerOS
for Apollo will bring people a new and improved riding experience.
Meanwhile, Apollo Enterprise will play a key role in providing
autonomous driving and connected vehicles solutions,” said Zhenyu
Li, Vice President and General Manager of Baidu’s Intelligent
Driving Group.
DuerOS for Apollo is the foundation for Ford’s
SYNC+ in-vehicle infotainment system, which is installed on the
four new vehicles being unveiled at Auto Shanghai 2019 – Escape
ST-Line, Titanium, Edge ST and ST-Line. This follows a strategic
agreement signed in June 2018 between Baidu and Ford China to
collaborate on connected car and digital solutions for vehicles.
Baidu and Ford co-developed the SYNC+ infotainment based on the
DuerOS for Apollo to provide intelligent navigation and
entertainment services as well as solutions that integrate vehicles
with smart homes. In 2019, many Ford branded cars made in China
will be equipped with the jointly-developed SYNC+ infotainment
system.
The new Haval H6 by Great Wall Motors, one of the
best-selling SUVs in China, comes equipped with DuerOS for Apollo,
covering core functions including voice assistant, intelligent
navigation, media entertainment, mini program, online payment and
data security. In the Haval H6, DuerOS for Apollo offers over 50
mini programs, including online video, e-commerce, travel and
after-sales services.
DuerOS for Apollo is also installed on Chery Auto’s
fleets on the recently unveiled EXEED TX/TXL SUVs. Leveraging
Baidu’s intelligent vehicle systems, EXEED SUVs provide an enhanced
experience by integrating the data flow between riders, vehicles,
road and the cloud. In addition, DuerOS for Apollo enables Chery
EXEED passengers to make in-car payments with facial
recognition.
At Auto Shanghai 2019, Hyundai and KIA Motors also
introduced several new models of vehicles empowered by DuerOS for
Apollo. Moreover, Baidu showcased a concept car with a futuristic
cabin built on DuerOS for Apollo in cooperation with Panasonic.
In addition to connected vehicle solutions,
applications of Baidu Apollo Enterprise, a suite
of intelligent driving products and solutions for commercial
production vehicles, were also demonstrated at Auto Shanghai 2019.
Baidu’s Intelligent Map is deployed in the new model of vehicles by
WM Motor. Based on the agreement signed early this year, Baidu is
providing comprehensive Apollo Enterprise autonomous driving
solutions to WM Motor.
