Chinese web services company Baidu has revealed its new all-electric self-driving car, a modified version of Chery EQ.

Featuring a small and rounded cabin, the Chery EQ car is to be equipped with Baidu’s driverless technology and will soon be tested in China.

Baidu, known as Google of China, has previously used a modified version of BMW 3 series that was equipped with the company’s driverless technology AutoBrain software.

The software was designed and developed to automate a number of components such as driving maps, detection, positioning, control and decision-making.

"Baidu spokesperson Leo Zou said the new modified self-driving electric car Chery EQ will continue to be a part of the Baidu AutoBrain development."

The BMW 3 Series self-driving vehicle covered a distance of 18.6 miles last year, and performed activities such as changing lanes, making U-turns and merging on and off the highway.

Baidu spokesperson Leo Zou said the new modified self-driving electric car Chery EQ will continue to be a part of the Baidu AutoBrain development.

The company plans to introduce its self-driving cars for public shuttle service in China by 2018. The Chery EQ costs around $9,000 and has a range of 120 miles.

The company is currently mapping routes with information including height of the traffic lights, as well as the location of curbs.

Baidu is currently testing its driverless cars in the US.
