BMW has teamed up with the Google of China, Baidu, to begin work on automated driving trials in Beijing and Shanghai.

According to Reuters, BMW says its group of research vehicles have already covered "thousands of kilometers" up and down the autobahns of Germany, and is now embarking "on a further research project which will pave the way for highly automated driving in China as well."

The cars for the Chinese project expansion will be tackling the nation's multi-level highways and other infrastructural challenges in Beijing and Shanghai, relying upon Baidu's map and cloud services on-the-go to aid in a given vehicle's navigation.
