A massive technical failure of Apollo Go self-driving cars caused traffic jams and accidents in China. Passengers found themselves trapped in vehicles amidst dense traffic.

More than 100 robotaxis stopped right on the busy streets of Wuhan, China. Many cars stopped in the fast lane (left), which led to accidents on some roads, UNN reports with reference to Reuters.

Details

It is noted that the police called the incident with Apollo Go driverless taxis a "technical failure." This service belongs to Baidu, but there have been no comments from them yet.

Some passengers left the cars on their own, but many did not dare to get out of the robotaxis due to very heavy traffic on the roadway

- the article says.

What happened sparked new heated debates in China about the safety of driverless taxis. An investigation is underway into this fact.

Recall

Uber, in partnership with Chinese giant Baidu, will launch robotaxis in the UK, starting a pilot project with Apollo Go RT6 drones in the first half of 2026. The company plans to make the service available to Londoners by the end of next year.
