Editorial summaries

Apollo RT6

Baidu's Apollo RT6 is the company's sixth-generation autonomous robotaxi: a purpose-built battery-electric vehicle (a cross between an SUV and a minivan, with a detachable steering wheel) on Baidu's Apollo Galaxy / Xinghe self-driving platform, powering the Apollo Go fully-driverless commercial ride-hailing service across Chinese cities and some international markets. There is no consumer price: it is a robotaxi service vehicle, not sold to consumers.

Baidu manufactures it without relying on a third-party automaker at roughly 204,600 RMB (about $28,600) per vehicle, about half the cost of the prior generation: a verified per-vehicle build cost (from Baidu's disclosures), not a consumer price. It is one of the Chinese commercial-at-scale anchors of the robotaxi cluster.

Robotaxi GXR

WeRide's Robotaxi GXR is a mass-produced, purpose-built robotaxi launched in October 2024 on Geely Farizon's SuperVAN platform. There is no consumer price: it is a robotaxi service vehicle, not sold to consumers. It began fully-driverless commercial operations in Beijing in early 2025 and Guangzhou in August 2025, and operates fully-driverless commercial service in Guangzhou, Beijing, and Abu Dhabi, with public passenger services in Dubai and Riyadh; WeRide and Geely Farizon have committed to delivering 2,000 GXRs for large-scale global commercialization.

WeRide is NASDAQ-listed (WRD), giving its disclosures a stronger public-company verification posture than private operators. It is a Chinese commercial anchor of the robotaxi cluster with notable Middle East reach.
