Baidu's AmiGo Receives Special Operating Permit in Switzerland
Baidu announced that AmiGo, the on-demand autonomous mobility service developed through a partnership between Apollo Go and PostBus, has received a special operating permit from the Federal Roads Office for Level 4 autonomous operations in Eastern Switzerland. AmiGo vehicles have been conducting open-road testing since June 1, 2026, marking a major development in Apollo Go's European expansion and validating the global readiness of its autonomous driving technology. The FEDRO special permit confirms that AmiGo's vehicles and autonomous driving system meet Switzerland's clearly defined safety and quality requirements, underscoring the maturity and reliability of Apollo Go's globally proven technology. Autonomous driving trials with a safety operator on board now cover an approximately 80 km service area across the cantons of St. Gallen, Appenzell Ausserrhoden, and Appenzell Innerrhoden.
