Baidu's electric vehicle (EV) arm Jidu Auto on Wednesday launched a "robot" concept car, the first vehicle to be revealed by a Chinese internet company. The concept car, which is free of door handles and can be fully controlled via voice recognition, was launched through an online press conference held on Baidu's metaverse-themed app Xirang.

The appearance of car robot can't be separated from the support of core technologies. Nowadays, some intelligent technology companies and Internet business have an access to this market, so in a bid to keep competitiveness, the most important way is to step up innovation capacity and patent portfolio.
