As a competitor to Tesla Model 3, their first car, the Jigeyue 01 midsize SUV, was released at Roboday 2023 in October。It uses a lot of artificial intelligence technology, self-driving functions and voice-controlled parking functions provided by Baidu.。
The 02 is the second car of the extreme, based on the Jidu Robo-02 concept car unveiled at the 2022 Guangzhou Auto Show。It is based on Geely's SEA platform and is equipped with an intelligent driving system provided by Baidu. The system relies entirely on cameras. Electric vehicles do not have lidar。

Baidu's ADAS system will obtain information from many sensors in Jiyue 02, including 4 3 million pixel cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars and 5 millimeter wave radars。Two Nvidia Orin-X chips power them。
