"A preliminary investigation indicates more than 100 robotaxis came to a halt because of a system malfunction, police in the city of Wuhan said in a statement, without elaborating."
"One passenger told Chinese media that their robotaxi stopped after turning a corner. An instruction on a screen read: Driving system malfunction."
"While some passengers were able to exit their taxis on their own, others were afraid to get out because their vehicle had stopped in the middle lane of a ring road with other vehicles passing on both sides."
"Baidu operates hundreds of robotaxis in Wuhan, which hosted an early pilot project for the company. The company started a service in Abu Dhabi and Dubai this year."
In Wuhan, over 100 robotaxis experienced a system malfunction, halting operations and leaving passengers stranded in fast-moving traffic. Passengers reported receiving a message about a driving system malfunction and were told staff would arrive shortly. Some managed to exit the vehicles, while others hesitated due to the dangerous location. This incident marks the first mass shutdown of robotaxis in China. Baidu operates these vehicles and is expanding its services internationally, including in Europe and the Middle East.
