They condition this with "in US" because Baidu in China is larger?
- owlninja 2y agoThey are simply saying they are expanding their area in Phoenix AZ, which is already the largest autonomous ride-hail territory in the US...

Assuming the average ride is over 2 mi, this is more than Waymo's cumulative 10M miles driven.
