The Apolong (Chinese: 阿波龙), sometimes referred to as the Baidu Apollo project, is a driverless vehicle developed by Baidu, King Long and a consortium of more than 40 companies. The SAE Level 4 microcirculation Apolong bus commenced mass production in 2017. It is manufactured by a consortium consisting of Baidu, King Long and SB Drive (a subsidiary of Softbank). The driverless bus does not have a steering wheel, accelerator or brake, travels at speeds of 20 to 40 km/h and is able to sense and predict movement of pedestrians and vehicles in its vicinity. It uses Apollo 3.0, Baidu's open source driverless operating platform. The name Apollo is an English version of the Chinese name for the bus "Apolong".
