Apollo

8am-10pm

Book via ApolloGo app

We don't have a map but we do have this launch information that may still be current (https://medium.com/apollo-auto/what-you-need-to-know-about-baidus-apollo-go-robotaxi-in-beijing-7766bc71b20b) :

"Our Apollo Go Robotaxi service operates within a 700-kilometer area (currently the largest autonomous driving test area and longest road network in China). While we currently have 14 pick-up and drop-off stations approved and opened to the public, we’ll expand to nearly 100 pick-up and drop-off stations covering residential and business areas in Yizhuang, Haidian, and Shunyi districts in the near future."

The Apollo Go robotaxis will operate at Shougang Park – an industrial park on the west side of Beijing which will be a site for the 2022 winter Olympics. The firm says the taxis are fully driverless and will offer the first commercial service of its kind in China.Service areas - Source: https://cities-today.com/autonomous-robotaxi-service-launched-in-beijing/

Pony AI

"Pony.ai was one of two robotaxi operators awarded a permit by Beijing city authorities to offer driverless service in southeastern Beijing. (Pony.ai has had a permit to driverless test since October 2021 but not with the general public in the car.)"
