US software outfit Unity has become the latest company to partner with Chinese tech giant Baidu on its ambitious Apollo Plan, which aims to build level 5, 4 and 3 self-driving systems. Under the deal, Baidu's team will use Unity's real-time simulation to accelerate development of their automated systems. It will enable several digital test drives to take place simultaneously, while data can be collected more quickly than in real-world trials.
