Sanyan Technology reported on July 23 that recently, Xia Yiping, CEO of Jiyue Automobile, posted a video commenting on the previous incident that "a kid thought Baidu's autonomous driving was stealing jobs from taxi drivers". He said that Baidu's investment of more than 100 billion yuan and more than ten years of research and development of autonomous driving was definitely not just to start a taxi company and steal jobs from online car-hailing companies. On the contrary, it was done to help online car-hailing companies and 300 million private car owners across the country.


Xia Yiping pointed out that Baidu's autonomous driving is designed to be able to delegate this technology to assisted driving, provide convenience for tens of millions of online car-hailing drivers, and reduce the labor intensity of driving cars for long periods of time. The ultimate goal is to enable hundreds of millions of private car drivers across the country to use autonomous driving, so that driving is no longer a physical job.

The reason for making driverless taxis is that it represents an extremely high level of self-driving, which can make car buyers believe that autonomous driving can help them drive, so they will choose smart driving cars when purchasing.
