Uber's China-based rival, Didi Chuxing, is planning to get into the self-driving taxi business, the company has officially announced.

Didi Chuxing aims to become the first large-scale autonomous taxi service in China and plans to roll out its Level 4 self-driving vehicles in the Jiading District of Shanghai, Mashable reports.

Another China-based tech company, Baidu, is also expected to roll out its fleet of self-driving taxis in Changsha in late 2019.
