Tencent is making progress on its own autonomous driving system,\u00a0according to Bloomberg. The report says that Tencent, one of China\u2019s largest tech firms and the maker of WeChat, already has a prototype and is testing the system internally.
\nIf Tencent\u2019s autonomous driving tests goes well, that would help it catch up with fellow Chinese tech giant and rival Baidu, which recently\u00a0launched a $1.5 billion investment fundas part of Apollo, its autonomous vehicle initiative, and\u00a0plans to mass produce Level 4 self-driving cars by 2021\u00a0with BAIC Group.
\nTencent has signaled its interest in autonomous driving technology for a while now. About three months ago, it announced\u00a0an alliance\u00a0to work on artificial intelligence technology for autonomous cars, with members including Sebastian Thrun, the Stanford computer scientist who played a key role in the development of Google\u2019s self-driving car; Xu Heyi, the chairman of Chinese state-owned auto maker BAIC Group; and electric car startup Nio founder Li Bin.
\nTencent\u2019s auto and driving-related investments include Nio, Didi Chuxing and\u00a0a 5% stake in Tesla\u00a0(it also wanted to invest in Here, a digital mapping startup, but\u00a0was denied regulatory approval).
