A few days ago, a blogger uploaded a photo of a car accident of Baidu's (09888.HK) "Carrot Run" unmanned taxi.
The photos show that the rear of the Carrot Run unmanned vehicle was hit, and the wheels fell off, causing serious damage to the car.
The front bumper of another accident car with a license plate was also on the ground.
On August 12, Baidu Radish Transportation responded to the Red Star Capital Bureau: “The photos of the traffic accident between the Radish transportation capacity test vehicle and the social vehicle circulating on the Internet are from the car on August 10 during the normal testing process. There were no casualties in the resulting traffic accident. After the accident, the radish transportation capacity has been reported to the relevant departments for the record and disposal as soon as possible.”
"Carrot Run" is an autonomous driving travel service platform released by Baidu Apollo in August 2021. At present, it has launched autonomous driving paid travel services in some regions. The mileage and duration are used as billing units. The starting price is 16 yuan, and the mileage unit price is 1 2.8 yuan per kilometer.
