Chinese search giant Baidu and Ford announced a joint two-year project on Wednesday to test autonomous vehicles in China, as the latter suffers a steep drop in Chinese car sales. On-road testing will start by the end of 2018 Ford said in a press release. The goal of the project is to develop “level 4” autonomous vehicles, which are fully autonomous under certain conditions, but still allow human intervention, according to a standard set by SAE International.
