Baidu could be ready to sell self-driving cars in just three years

Chinese companies are just as interested in autonomous vehicle technology as their American counterparts, and as the Google of China, it’s only natural that Baidu be the company leading the charge for Chinese research in the area. In fact, the company claims that it’s well within the realm of possibility that it’ll have a self-driving car ready to hit the market in as little as three years, which is one of the most ambitious estimates we’ve seen, but securing the government approval necessary to release such a vehicle is another issue.
