News Summary:

On April 4, 2026, a system malfunction froze more than 100 of Baidu’s Apollo Go robotaxis in Wuhan, trapping passengers in live traffic on elevated highways and busy arterials. This mass outage, first reported on April 3, left some riders stranded for up to 90 minutes and brought parts of Wuhan’s road network to a standstill. The incident intensified scrutiny of the rapid rollout of robotaxi services in major urban centers and raised new questions about how cities manage large autonomous fleets.
