For the same destination, Baidu’s Apollo robotaxi in Shenzhen will charge RMB 125 (before coupon) vs RMB 40 on Didi express (affordable tier, before coupon) and RMB 50 for regular taxi.
What’s also interesting is that Baidu’s robotaxi estimates that it will take 79 minutes!
Meanwhile Didi estimates it’s about 31 minutes, which is in-line with other map apps’ estimates.
Baidu robotaxi charges more than 2x the taxi price and takes more than 2x the time…
Well done.
