Thanks to 5G, Apollos further improves the vehicle’s overall safety standards. Its 55-inch intelligent transparent display window, jointly developed by Apollo and BOE, can exhibit information about the traffic on the road as well as the driving conditions. Through its hi-fi screen, passengers can interact with the virtual navigator through Baidu Intelligent Voice Exchange System.

In 2012, King Long officially launched its development program of intelligent and internet-connected buses. In 2017, the bus maker and Baidu jointly revealed the first Apollo to the public. In 2018, Apollo, with L4-level autonomous driving, started commercial operation.

So far, Apollo has made its way to 28 cities across China. With an accumulated mileage of 140,000+ km, the bus has provided transportation services to over 120,000 passengers.
