Are self-driving cars ready for the masses? Probably not, but rides are being tested in Beijing right now. In Shougang, Baidu runs a self-driving bus service, named Apolong, and a paid fully autonomous ride-hailing service called Apollo Go, which was just introduced at the beginning of May. The KrASIA team wanted to bring you a first-hand experience at this experience, and so we went to the park to try this new service and document the journey.

Eight years ago, Lei Jun purchased his first Tesla. Last Wednesday, speaking with a slightly husky voice because he had a cold, Lei said that Xiaomi is about to enter the electric vehicle business. He called it "the last major entrepreneurship project" of his life.The announcement cut through a series of leaks and denials from the past few months. Before this point, Lei himself had a hard time figuring out whether Xiaomi should be part of this highly competitive industry, with startups like Nio, Xpeng gaining heat, and conglomerates like Baidu and Evengrande already making headway.
