According to reports from domestic media, Baidu-SW (09888.HK)旗下's self-driving transportation service platform "萝卜快跑" will soon begin road testing in specific areas of Hong Kong. The license granted by the Hong Kong Transport Department is the first batch of automatic driving test licenses for right-hand traffic areas that the company has received, which will become an important part of the company's path towards globalization.

萝卜快跑 stated that Hong Kong, as a frontier of Asia financial and innovation, is committed to building a leading innovation and technology ecosystem. The company looks forward to bringing artificial intelligence and self-driving technology to more countries and regions, and has thus begun its global business expansion.

The Transport Department announced last Friday (November 29) that the first pilot license for automatic driving vehicles has been granted based on the "Road Traffic (Self-Driving Vehicles) Regulations". (js/w)
