Recently, the autonomous driving travel service platform "LuoBoKuaiPao" under Baidu Apollo has been on the hot search list many times, and the "LuoBoKuaiPao" test vehicle that appeared in Dongguan has also caused widespread heated discussion online. According to the content shared by netizens on the short video platform, they encountered the "LuoBoKuaiPao" test vehicle near Sanyuanli and Houjie in Nancheng, Dongguan.

The roof screen of the test vehicle shows "In Service", the rear of the vehicle is labeled "Test vehicle parking at any time", and the door is labeled "Carrot Run Fast".

Dongguan Binhaiwan New Area has also officially revealed that in March this year, Baidu Apollo's autonomous driving travel service platform "LuoBoKuaiPao" autonomous driving car was put on the road for testing in Binhaiwan.

On July 17, a reporter from Nandu downloaded the "LuoBoKuaiPao" app. After opening the app and locating Dongguan, the page displayed the words "The current city is not in operation yet."

According to the APP operating areas, "LuoBo KuaiPao" has autonomous driving operations in Fuzhou, Jiaxing, Yangquan, Chongqing, Chengdu, Beijing, Hefei, Guangzhou, Changsha, Shanghai, Wuhan and Shenzhen (specific operation details are subject to the display), and has not yet started operations in Dongguan.

The reporter consulted the online customer service of the "LuoBoKuaiPao" APP about the test vehicle pictures circulated online. When mentioning the operation of "LuoBoKuaiPao" in Dongguan, the online customer service said: "No specific notification has been received yet. If it is opened later, promotional activities will be carried out in the area."

The reporter then called the "LuoBoKuaiPao" customer service hotline to inquire about "LuoBoKuaiPao"'s recent operating plans in Dongguan, and was told that "we have not yet received any notification of opening a commercial pilot area in Dongguan, and it is recommended that you keep an eye on it."

Regarding the test vehicles and their online status, the manual customer service said: "We can only handle the actual problems encountered by users during the ride, and we are unable to verify them for the time being." For more questions about "LuoBoKuaiPao", the manual customer service suggested going directly to the official website to leave a message for consultation.

Previously on July 12, a reporter from Nandu consulted the Dongguan Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology about the implementation plans of unmanned driving platforms such as "LuoBoKuaiPao" in Dongguan, but the staff of the relevant department said it was inconvenient to respond.
