JAKARTA – Recently, Baidu held an exhibition entitled Baidu World 2021. Baidu's boss, Robin Li, presented his views on future cars. He mentioned that future cars will be on par with robotic capabilities. This opinion was conveyed by Li on Sunday, August 18, 2021 yesterday.

"In the future, cars will be equivalent to robots," said Robin Li, as quoted by SCMP.

For information, Baidu is the largest search engine company from China. Baidu is also developing artificial intelligence (AI). In the development of the Robocar Baidu took 8 years.

Unlike most electric cars in general, Baidu's Robocar does not have a steering wheel or pedals. The sophisticated electric car is only equipped with a curved screen and a number of control buttons.

CEO Robin Li revealed that the interior of the Robocar is equipped with zero-gravity seats that serve to reduce the effects of shocks. The seat without gravity will make the passengers comfortable. In addition, Robocar is also equipped with voice recognition and AI technology so that the car has the ability to analyze and provide advice to its passengers.

For information, Robocar has met the standard of self-driving car stage 5. This means that Robocar has the ability to control itself in various road conditions without any human intervention.

The development of the electric car is part of the company's collaboration with car manufacturer Geely which was agreed in early 2021. In the future, Baidu will start producing its Robocar in 2024.

The electric car of the future is expected to use Internet of Things (IoT) technology which functions to control a number of features and connect the vehicle with users' devices to meet their daily needs.

Some time ago, Baidu has released an open-source self-driving car platform called Apollo. The platform is the largest in the world. Apollo has succeeded in bringing in dozens of car manufacturers, car component suppliers, and a number of technology companies to participate in the development of future electric cars.
