Uber and WeRide plan to expand a commercial robotaxi partnership and bring the service to 15 more cities over the next five years, including in Europe.
WeRide's robotaxi services are accessible through the Uber app, similar to Uber's deal with Waymo, where Uber handles network routing and fleet operations while Waymo manages AV technology.
The two companies already operate together in Abu Dhabi and announced plans to add Dubai, working with local Tawasul Transport for fleet operations.
Uber has secured various partnerships with autonomous vehicle tech firms, including recent deals with May Mobility, Volkswagen, and Momenta, with the most notable partnership being with Waymo for the Waymo on Uber service in Austin and upcoming launch in Atlanta.
