Uber and Lyft joined forces with Baidu (BIDU) to kick off driverless taxi trials in the UK. This move, announced on December 22, 2025, will introduce Baidu’s Apollo Go RT6 robotaxis to London’s ride-hailing networks in 2026. The UK’s recent regulatory changes have made it an appealing testing ground for autonomous vehicles.

Baidu (BIDU) has been gaining attention for its autonomous strategy, leading Citi to put the stock on a 90-day positive catalyst watch. The investment firm has a “Buy” rating on the stock with a $181 price target, citing improved disclosure and investments in AI-driven revenues. ARK also recently acquired a significant number of Baidu shares.

Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU) is a key player in internet search and online marketing solutions, known for products like the Baidu App and Baidu Search. While BIDU shows promise as an investment, other AI stocks may offer greater potential upside.
