WeRide, a global leading autonomous driving technology company, and Uber Technologies, Inc., the world’s largest mobility and delivery technology platform, recently announced a strategic partnership to bring WeRide’s autonomous vehicles onto the Uber platform, beginning in the UAE. The partnership is expected to launch first in Abu Dhabi later this year. A dedicated number of WeRide vehicles will be made available to consumers using the Uber app. After launch, when a rider requests a qualifying ride on the Uber app, they may be presented with the option to have their trip fulfilled by a WeRide autonomous vehicle.
