“We hope that no matter what kind of terminal they use, people will be able to use Baidu’s ‘box’ to easily find the information they want,” Zhang Dongchen, a senior Baidu executive, said.
Baidu said it had received invitations from other automakers to collaborate on this front but did not give more details, the news agency reported.
