Baidu is set to unveil the advancements and accomplishments in the research and development of its world model in the foreseeable future. The world model boasts the ability to model and forecast physical environments. When integrated into autonomous driving systems, it can significantly bolster predictive decision-making abilities in intricate scenarios, thereby paving the way for the widespread deployment of self-driving cars. Over the past one to two years, Baidu's Apollo Go service has witnessed a global expansion, now operating in 28 cities worldwide and amassing a wealth of real-world road data. Simultaneously, Baidu has been steadily strategizing its moves in the realm of embodied artificial intelligence in recent times, catering to over fifty pivotal enterprises within the industrial chain. At present, the precise applications of this world model and its connection to Apollo Go remain ambiguous, and Baidu has yet to issue a response.
