Chinese tech giant Baidu Inc received approval for the commercial operation of its autonomous car service in Yangquan, North China's Shanxi province on Friday, and the company's Apollo Go, also known as Luobo Kuaipao is authorized to provide paid robotaxi services in the city starting Sunday.
Yangquan yw'r drydedd ddinas ar draws y wlad sy'n lansio gwasanaethau cerbydau gyrru ymreolaethol masnachol, ar ôl Beijing a Chongqing.
The service provided by Baidu's Apollo Go includes over 30 pickup and drop-off points in government departments, residential areas and high-tech industrial parks at the initial stage, Baidu said. The service is available every day of the week from 9 am to 5 pm.
Mae Baidu Apollo wedi cyflwyno gwasanaethau reidio robotacsi-mewn wyth dinas: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Changsha, Cangzhou a Yangquan, a dechreuodd weithredu gwasanaethau ceir ymreolaethol yn fasnachol yn Beijing ym mis Tachwedd.
Wrth i dechnoleg gyrru ymreolaethol barhau i aeddfedu, mae'r diwydiant gyrru ymreolaethol ar fin cydgrynhoi yn y blynyddoedd i ddod. Yn ôl ymgynghoriaeth y farchnad IHS Markit, bydd maint y farchnad gwasanaeth ceir ymreolaethol yn fwy na 1.3 triliwn yuan (203.5 biliwn), gyda'r darparwr gwasanaeth rheng uchaf yn cyfrif am 40 y cant o gyfran y farchnad.
