據中國科技巨頭百度的首席執行官李彥宏透露，百度計劃在明年7月進行全自動小型巴士的“小規模生產”。

Baidu also plans to launch self-driving car models in cooperation with manufacturers JAC Motors and Beijing Automotive Industry Corp, Li said during the company's annual technology conference.

By connecting with the "Internet of cars," the driverless vehicles will analyse information on signals and roads to improve traffic efficiency.

"The monitoring system developed by Baidu can monitor whether a driver is tired or not. If the driver is tired, the system will issue a warning and perk up the driver with a cheerful song," Li gave an example during the conference.

李彥宏在會議上舉了一個例子：“百度開發的監控系統可以監控司機是否疲勞。如果司機感到累了，該系統就會發出警告，播放一首振奮的歌曲讓司機精神起來。”

Baidu's self-driving project was launched in 2013, featuring functions of precise mapping, positioning and intelligent decision.

百度的自動駕駛項目是在2013年推出的，其功能包含精確地圖、定位和智能決策。
