Chinese web giant Baidu will launch its first driverless car in the second half of 2015, it has announced.
It had previously said it was working on such a car but did not say when it would be available.
The news, reported by Chinese language website TechWeb, will put it head to head with rival Google.
The firm will work with an unnamed car manufacturer, according to Baidu's senior vice president Jin Wang.
