Baidu’s Apollo Go expands in Hong Kong to prepare for left-hand traffic

Baidu’s Apollo Go robotaxi program is expanding in Hong Kong as it works to adapt to left-hand traffic.
The post, amplified from a Road to Autonomy discussion, frames the move as part of Apollo Go’s international ambitions and a sign that the program is preparing for broader deployment beyond mainland China.
The key takeaway is not a product launch, but an operational expansion: Baidu is using Hong Kong as a testbed for left-hand-traffic readiness and future overseas growth.
