Do we have any info on the sensor or software suite which Baidu uses, or any data on km/intervention? Would be neat if we could compare them to Waymo and Tesla.
I don’t know the specifics. What seems more relevant to me is that lots of automakers around the world are getting to Level 4 by various, mostly similar ways.
Once you have Level 4 you have a viable robotaxi business model. Even if you stick to geo-fenced areas, and mapped routes, that covers 80%+ of urban taxi journeys.
The same holds true for buses and public transit. I’m very interested to see how efforts like this Level 4 mini-shuttle bus in France progress.

When robotaxis & mass transit like these are common, how many people will still want private cars?
