Baidu booth: self-driving car and online translation

Baidu self-driving car is a highlight at the expo. When visiting the Baidu booth, Xi listened to the development of the driver-less cars and online translation of the online search giant.

Baidu said earlier this month that it plans to put self-driving cars on the roads in the next three years. The Beijing-based company, which successfully completed the test drive of its self-driven car on various roads last week, said it intends to mass-produce the vehicles within five years.

Using artificial intelligence and big data technology, Baidu Online Translation realizes high-quality machine translation, which covers 14 languages in 33 countries and regions in the One Belt and One Road Initiative.
