He added '**[Our understanding](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/115266/how-did-stephen-hawking-contribute-to-our-understanding-of-the-universe-despite-his-illness) of good vehicles was that being electrical would be the semi-final whereas being intelligent would be the final**.' ``` HIGHLIGHTS Jidu had aimed to be capable of delivering 800,000 of its 'robot' cars in 2028 The concept car has no door handles and would be controlled via voice recognition Baidu got permit to use the first fully driverless robotaxi services on open roads ``` Well, Jidu had aimed to be capable of delivering **800,000** of its '**robot**' cars in **2028**, Jidu chief executive **Joe Xia Yiping** has mentioned in his statement. Along with this, Jidu had also planned to deliver its second model for production in **2024**. Jidu had disclosed its first '**robot**' concept [car](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1429/a-cargo-ship-full-of-luxury-cars-is-burning-in-somewhere-in-atlantic) that would have no door handles and may be totally controlled via [voice recognition](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23474/what-is-voice-recognition-and-its-future), in **June**, with the planning to have a mass production of the model in **2023**. Besides equipping the car with autonomous driving [software](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1498/germany-says-russian-anti-virus-software-use-is-a-threat) technology which was powered by Baidu, Jidu's '**robot**' vehicles would be having two lidars and **12** cameras. Lidars were considered as detection systems, like radars, which would use pulsed laser light rather than the radio waves. It has been claimed that [Tesla](https://www.mindstick.com/news/434/self-driving-tesla-crashes-leads-2-death-in-texas) doesn't use lidar censors. The plan of Baidu's EV-making comes as [tech companies](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1273/u-s-bills-targeting-big-tech-companies-ready-to-bridle-google-facebook-and-others) around the world have been racing to develop good cars once Tesla had achieved the success in commercializing EVs. On **Monday**, Baidu has mentioned that it has obtained permits to use the first fully driverless robotaxi services on open roads in two of the **Chinese** cities. Well, the [search engine](https://www.mindstick.com/services/search-engine-optimization) giant has mentioned that the allowance which was awarded by the southwestern municipality of **Chongqing** and the central city of **Wuhan** has marked a '**turning point**' in China's policy-making towards [automated driving](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1300/volkswagen-collaborating-with-bosch-on-automated-driving-software). As per the **Wei Dong**, the chief safety operation officer of **Baidu’s Intelligent Driving Group**, '**these permits would have deep significance for the industry**.” Mr. Dong added “**If we predict of the exploration of space, this moment would be adequate to landing on the moon**.' Initially, Baidu would deploy a batch of five fee-charging robotaxis in every city, where they would be allowed to work in selected areas from **9am to 5pm** in the city **Wuhan** and **9:30am to 4:30pm** in **Chongqing**. Well, the service areas would span around **30 square km** in **Chongqing's Yongchuan District** and **13 square km** in the **Wuhan Economic & Technological Development Zone**.
