Baidu

Products: automation-operator. Risk band: High   RobotRisk index 62.3/100 (severity- and time-weighted incidents) · ranked 2 of 45 among Other companies with incidents (53 tracked).

Analyst brief

Baidu's index of 62.3 ranks 2 of 45 companies in Other with incident history. Crash and injury types dominate, with three of five entries involving pedestrian strikes, two of severity 4, including a December 2025 incident in which a pedestrian was trapped beneath the vehicle. The remaining two entries are a 2024 jaywalking-pedestrian strike and a March 2026 system-failure outage in Wuhan. The concentration of repeated pedestrian-strike entries across an 18-month span constitutes a recurring pattern of the same failure mode rather than a single event, and the record is press-driven, built from incident and outage reporting rather than a formal regulatory action.
