Beijing, the technology and innovation center of China, is a strategic location for AI and autonomous driving development. As the first city in China to regulate and open autonomous driving road test zones, Beijing has comprehensive infrastructure and policies to foster high-speed development of the industry. In 2019, Beijing ranked first in China for numbers of test licenses and vehicle categories, as well as diversity of test scenarios. In addition, Beijing has issued the most stringent safety requirements for manned autonomous driving tests in China to ensure the safety and reliability of the industry.
 

Beijing has also been an important city for Baidu's development of cutting-edge autonomous driving technology, with Baidu beginning its innovation in the field in Beijing in 2013. In December 2019, Baidu Apollo claimed 40 of the first batch of manned autonomous driving test licenses issued by the city. After eight months of small-scale manned testing, the Baidu Apollo robotaxi fleet has completed road tests totaling 519,000 kilometers in Beijing and obtained permission to enter the next stage: opening up to the general public. According to the 2018 and 2019 editions of the Beijing Autonomous Vehicles Road Test Report, Baidu topped industry peers with the largest fleet of test vehicles, highest total mileage, and most diverse test scenarios.
