Baidu has unveiled Apollo World, a world-model simulator designed to train its Apollo Go robotaxis on rare and dangerous road scenarios. The system generates virtual journeys that react in real time to steering and braking inputs, producing synchronised camera and lidar data, and can stage hazards such as cyclists running red lights, letting autonomous vehicles practice situations rarely encountered in real-world driving.

Why now: The announcement highlights a new approach to training autonomous vehicles on rare road hazards, a key challenge for self-driving technology.
