WeRide and Uber Technologies Inc. have announced the commencement of Level 4 fully driverless Robotaxi commercial operations in Abu Dhabi, UAE. This development marks the first deployment of fully driverless ride-hailing services in the Middle East and the first city outside the United States to host such operations on the Uber platform. The launch follows the granting of a city-level fully driverless Robotaxi permit and an operational license from the Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) to WeRide and fleet operator Tawasul. Passengers can book WeRide Robotaxis through Uber Comfort, UberX, and a new "Autonomous" category on the Uber platform. The partnership aims to expand operations across Abu Dhabi and scale up the Robotaxi fleet in the coming years.
