Unveiling its Apollo autonomous driving platform back in April, Baidu said it would be available to partners in July 2017.
Earlier this month, the Chinese company further announced that it was working with the US tech giant on its open-source self-driving car platform involving Microsoft's cloud based 'Azure' service.
Now Microsoft has issued a news release giving additional details of the partnership, saying that the two sides would 'explore opportunities to deliver connected vehicle solutions and unique customer experiences that aim to digitally transform the autonomous driving industry.'
