Lyft partners with Baidu to bring Chinese driverless cars to Europe by 2026. Apollo Go robotaxis will deploy in Germany and UK first, scaling to thousands.

Lyft and Baidu plan to start service early next year, joining Uber and Momenta in using electric cars from China, which are the least expensive even with tariffs.

Lyft Inc. said it’s partnering with China’s Baidu Inc. to launch autonomous vehicles in Europe starting next year, an agreement that comes after the US rideshare company finalized its first expansion into the continent.
