Tesla to work with Baidu in push to offer self-driving tech in China

HONG KONG -- Tesla is moving closer to introducing its self-driving system in China, the U.S. automaker's biggest overseas market, following founder Elon Musk's surprise visit to the country.

The electric vehicle maker "recently" struck a deal with Chinese tech giant Baidu to use the latter's mapping and navigation functions, a source familiar with the agreement confirmed to Nikkei Asia. Multiple other media outlets, similarly citing anonymous sources, also reported the arrangement.
