Baidu's all-electric self-driving car is a modified Chery EQ

Baidu's plan to make self-driving cars a consumer reality by 2018 just changed gears, so to speak. According to Business Insider, the company has swapped out its modified BMW 3-series test vehicles for an all-electric car designed for the Chinese market: the Chery EQ. Unmodified, the diminutive EV can drive about 120 miles on a full charge. Baidu intends to use it to further test its driverless tech in China. It costs a lot less, too: after cashing in government incentives, the Chery EQ can be had for 59.800 Yuan (about 9,000 in greenbacks).
