WeRide (WRD) has announced that its Robotaxi was granted Saudi Arabia’s first Robotaxi autonomous driving permit, making it the world’s only technology company with products holding autonomous driving permits in six countries: Saudi Arabia, China, the UAE, Singapore, France, and the U.S. With this permit, WeRide is authorized to operate an autonomous vehicle business and deploy Robotaxis nationwide in Saudi Arabia, starting with its pilot operations in Riyadh with Uber (UBER) and local partner Ai Driver. Launched earlier this month, the pilot covers King Khalid International Airport and several key locations throughout Riyadh, including major highways and selected city center destinations. A full-scale commercial Robotaxi service is expected to launch by end-2025 through a partnership between WeRide and Uber.
