Recently, pictures of Baidu’s test car were circulated on the Internet. The most obvious difference is that there are two more cameras on the roof. The test vehicle uses Jikrypton 001. Considering that Baidu’s car and Jikrypton 001 are also produced on the SEA vast platform, perhaps this is Baidu’s self-driving test vehicle.
According to the photographer, this is a Baidu test car. It is speculated that Baidu, which has many years of Apollo research and development experience, may be using Jikrypton 001 to test SEA Vast Performance of the platform in autonomous driving. However, it can be seen from the picture that the test vehicle did not use a lidar solution. Instead, two cameras were added to the roof, perhaps using a vision solution.
There are other opinions on the Internet. This may be just Baidu itself testing a new solution. Another option is that Geely commissioned Baidu to test new solutions. After all, Baidu Apollo has accumulated considerable experience in autonomous driving. (The picture comes from netizen @电智士大雨)
