U.S. automaker Ford² has teamed up with Baidu, China's equivalent of Google, for a two-year autonomous³ vehicle test project in China.

美国福特汽车与中国百度展开合作，在中国进行一个为期两年的无人驾驶汽车测试项目。

Sherif Marakby, president and CEO of Ford Autonomous Vehicles announced the partnership⁴ with Baidu's vice⁵ president and general manager of its Intelligent Driving Group Li Zhenyu on Wednesday in Beijing.

Under the agreement, the two companies will further advance the development and on-road testing of autonomous vehicles in China, the world's biggest auto¹ market.

The collaboration⁶ is aligned⁷ with Ford's plans to further advance and promote autonomous vehicle technologies, supporting the company's vision of designing "smart vehicles for a smart world," Ford said in a statement.

"Working with a leading tech partner like Baidu allows us to leverage⁸ new opportunities in China to offer innovative⁹ solutions that improve safety, convenience and the overall mobility¹⁰ experience," Marakby said in a statement.

Ford's engineers in China have already converted the test vehicles into autonomous platforms to be fit with Baidu's Apollo Virtual Driver System. The tests will be conducted on open roads in Beijing that are specially¹¹ designated for driverless testing, with the option of exploring further opportunities in other Chinese cities.

"Baidu and Ford both believe in using technology to redefine the future of mobility," said Li, adding that the project will combine the leading-edge technological¹² know-how¹³ and understanding of China together with Ford's vehicle expertise¹⁴, marking a significant step forward.
