By Jane Lanhee Lee and Munsif Vengattil OAKLAND, Calif, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Baidu Inc has received a permit from the state of California to test self-driving cars without a driver behind the wheel, the state's Department of Motor Vehicles said on Wednesday. Although self-driving vehicles are designed to eliminate the need for a driver, most testing thus far has been with a safety driver behind the wheel who can take over in case of emergency. Currently, 58 companies have permits in California to test self-driving cars with such a backup driver, including most major automakers and Apple Inc. Baidu is the sixth company to have a permit to test without a driver behind the wheel. The permit allows it to test three autonomous vehicles on specified streets within Sunnyvale, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] Santa Clara County. According to Baidu, it will be using two different models of cars for testing its self-driving system, the Lincoln MKZ sedan and the Chrysler Pacifica van. The Chinese search engine leader has 500 self-driving cars testing mostly in China and some in the United States with safety drivers. It has not said when it will start testing without a driver in California.
