Baidu Opens Autonomous Operations Centre in Dubai

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority and Baidu inaugurated Baidu Apollo Go’s Autonomous Vehicles Operations and Control Centre at Dubai Science Park in 2025, marking Apollo Go’s first operations centre outside China. The 2,000-square-metre hub supports simulation, training, operations and maintenance, and accompanies Dubai’s first permit allowing fully driverless public-road trials, advancing plans to scale Apollo Go’s fleet to over 1,000 vehicles and commercial service in early 2026.
