BofA update shows where active managers are putting money
Investing.com -- A Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) Apollo Go robotaxi carrying a passenger plunged into a deep construction pit in Chongqing, southwestern China on Wednesday, according to local media reports.
The female passenger escaped injury and was rescued by nearby residents who provided a ladder to help her climb out of the trench, reported Southern Metropolis Daily and Huashang Newspaper.
Videos circulating on Chinese social media platforms showed a white vehicle with Baidu’s Apollo logo at the bottom of what appeared to be a construction trench.
A local shop owner told Huashang Newspaper that the construction site had barriers and warning signs in place, though it remains unclear how the autonomous vehicle managed to bypass these safety measures.
The accident has triggered widespread discussion across Chinese social media regarding the safety of autonomous taxi services.
