20222025
What the chart shows
Baidu’s Apollo Go, one of the few Chinese robotaxi services to publish ridership figures, provided about 11 million fully driverless rides in 2025, by the AI Index’s estimate. That is up 175% on the 4 million of 2024.
Rides grew from 1.5 million in 2022 to 3 million in 2023 before the faster rise of 2024 and 2025. Comparable figures for European operators are not public, the AI Index notes.

How to read it
- The 2025 figure is an estimate; earlier years come from Baidu’s financial results.
- These are rides per year, not weekly trips, so they cannot be compared directly with the California chart.
