Baidu Inc. has unveiled an artificial intelligence(AI) chip to run
intensive computing in everything from datacentres to autonomous driving, as the Chinese search giant prepares to launch its first self-driving vehicles in Japan.
The AI chip, “Kunlunâ€, joins rival efforts from tech giants around the world, including local peers such as networking giant Huawei Technologies Co. search rankings.
Baidu’s also accelerated production of its Apolong fully self-driving bus, developed in tandem with local manufacturer King Long and the first product to emerge from its open Apollo platform. It intends to ship the first 14-seater mini-buses to Japan by early 2019 in partnership with a SoftBank Group Corp. subsidiary, Baidu said.
