Chinese search engine Baidu Inc announced a 10 billion yuan (US$1.52 billion) autonomous driving fund on Thursday as part of a wider plan to speed up its technical development and compete with U.S. rivals.

SYDNEY, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- In an attempt to restore the delicate ecosystem in the iconic Sydney Harbour Khris Davis Youth Jersey , a joint collaboration was announced on Tuesday that will see an artificial reef being installed adjacent to the world-famous Opera House.
The collaboration between the New South Wales (NSW) government and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) will result in a reef being placed in the harbor, as part of an ongoing analysis of methods to improve biodiversity, and ensure the survival of native species.
The NSW Environment Minister Gabrielle Upton said in a statement obtained by Xinhua that she is excited about the partnership that will see the government work hand-in-hand with ecologists to deliver the ambitious project.
"This trial is an important project because research shows seawalls and other man-made structures tend to attract less marine life and native species than natural harbour shores," Upton said.
The lead ecologist on the project Rickey Henderson Youth Jersey , David Booth, a professor of marine ecology at UTS, said more than 50 percent of the shoreline of Sydney's harbor has been replaced with seawalls in order to ensure that erosion, and storms Andrew Triggs Womens Jersey , do not cause damage, and the reef might help restore some of what has been lost due to the preventative measures.
