China Might Beat the U.S. in Driverless Cars -- The Motley Fool

What if I told you that there was an Internet search company that's been working on self-driving cars since 2013 and its vehicles have logged countless successful autonomous miles? This company uses luxury vehicles for its autonomous car testing, has teamed up with self-driving tech leaders like NVIDIA, and is working with the government to make self-driving automobiles a reality. You might make an educated guess that I'm talking about Alphabet's (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Google. But you'd be wrong (sorry about that). Baidu is working to bring self-driving public transportation to China by 2018 and the company is taking huge strides to make it happen.
