WeRide
WeRide is a robotaxi operator and driving-system maker. In its interim results it said that, as of July 31, 2026, its global level-4 fleet comprised approximately 3,400 vehicles, including more than 1,800 robotaxis and about 400 robotaxis in the Middle East; that average daily rides per vehicle in the second quarter were over 21, up 24% from the first quarter; and that its autonomous driving businesses ran in more than 60 cities across 13 countries.1 In May 2026 it had put its China robotaxi fleet at approximately 1,000 vehicles as of April 30.2
WeRide says its robotaxi service has launched fully driverless commercial operations in Guangzhou and Beijing, with the Guangzhou service area tripled since the end of 2025 and operating 24/7; its statements do not say explicitly whether riders pay.13 In the Gulf it works with Uber and the fleet operator Tawasul: it reports fully driverless commercial operations in Abu Dhabi, a downtown Abu Dhabi extension from February 2026 with a vehicle specialist aboard, and a fully driverless launch with fare-charging in Dubai on March 31, 2026.456 In Riyadh, safety drivers rode in the initial deployment, with a fully driverless mode planned.7 In Singapore, rides in Punggol with Grab began in March 2026 with safety operators aboard in the initial phase.8 In Europe it has announced plans for the Zurich region with Uber and for Copenhagen with GreenMobility, and holds a Spanish operating permit for a 20-vehicle initial phase in Madrid with a specialist in each car.91011
