WeRide Expands Global 24/7 Robotaxi Services

WeRide has launched the Middle East’s first fully driverless robotaxi trial operations in Abu Dhabi, expanding service to Al Maryah and Al Reem Islands, with broader commercial rollout expected in summer 2025 pending regulatory approval. The company previously received the UAE’s first self-driving license in 2023 and has partnered with Uber since December 2024. In China, WeRide debuted the country’s first 24/7 autonomous robotaxi network in central Guangzhou, serving major urban areas and transport hubs. WeRide now operates in over 30 cities worldwide, including China, the UAE, Singapore, France, and the US, and plans to expand to 15 more cities with Uber over the next five years. The company reports over 2,000 days of incident-free public operation. These milestones highlight WeRide's rapid technological and commercial progress in global autonomous transport.
