Platform partners with WeRide to offer robotaxis

Uber users in the UAE could soon be hailing self-driving robotaxis, following a tie-up between Uber and WeRide, the global autonomous driving technology company.

The service is expected to launch first in Abu Dhabi before the end of the year with a dedicated number of WeRide vehicles being made available to consumers using the Uber app. 

After launch, when a customer requests a qualifying ride on the Uber app, they may be presented with the option to have their trip fulfilled by a WeRide robotaxi. 

According to both parties, there are no plans to roll out the service in the US or China.

WeRide currently operates the largest robotaxi fleet in the UAE, with residents able to access its robotaxi services through an app. 

In July 2023, WeRide was granted the UAE’s first and only national licence for self-driving vehicles, enabling it to test and operate its autonomous vehicles on public roads across the country. 

WeRide founder and chief executive Tony Han said: “We are honoured to partner with Uber to continue to bring our technology to global markets. Together, we aim to combine our collective experience and expertise to deliver much-needed, affordable, sustainable and safe mobility solutions to a global audience.”

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi added: “It’s clear that the future of mobility will be increasingly shared, electric and autonomous, and we look forward to working with leading AV [autonomous vehicle] companies like WeRide to help bring the benefits of autonomous technology to cities around the world.”
