We are pleased to announce the latest technological innovation Apollo Air in partnership with Tsinghua University AI Industry Research (AIR). This is the world’s first and only V2X technology that can automatically drive L4 on open public roads with roadside sensing functions reflecting the rapid rise of China’s V2X development.

“Apollo Air can adjust to a high level between sensorless vehicles, smart roads, and data clouds through a series of small roadside sensors with 5G and V2X wireless communication technologies,” said Ji Tao, Baidu, Director of Intelligent Transportation Product Development. The Apollo Air project was unveiled at the May 13 academic forum hosted by AIR. “Tsinghua University has been working to make a breakthrough in core AI technologies, and Apollo Air is exploring the V2X field in China,” said Dr. Ya-Qin Zhang, president of AIR. In the future, Tsinghua University will further cooperate with Baidu in various fields such as technology research and development and human resource development.
