Baidu's Apollo Go robotaxi service should now be easy to spot in China's gigantic cities. According to Engadget, based on what was collected by the China Daily, they report that the technology company has introduced Apollo Go in the Nanshan district of Shenzhen, making autonomous taxis available in all "first-tier" Chinese cities after the deployments. in six cities including Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai.

The initial robotaxi service is available through Baidu's Apollo Go app at 50 stops between 09:00 and 17:00. The initial focus is on high-traffic areas, including the Shenzhen Talent Park and the surrounding area. Baidu plans to expand coverage to more than 300 stops by the end of 2022.
Apollo Go is far from ubiquitous at the moment. Baidu expects to serve 65 cities by 2025 and won't reach 100 cities until 2030.
It also faces growing competition from rivals like AutoX, which also offers self-driving rides to the public. Still, this represents one of the world's largest robotaxi deployments.
