Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority announced yesterday that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Uber Technologies (UBER) and WeRide (WRD). “Under the agreement, pilot operations of autonomous vehicles will commence later this year via Uber app in Dubai. In the initial phase, the vehicles will operate with a safety driver on board, paving the way for the full-scale commercial rollout of driverless services in 2026. Field preparations for the pilot phase are already underway, led by Uber and WeRide, with strategic support and supervision from RTA,” the Authority announced. In Monday morning trading following the announcement, shares of WeRide are up 21c, or 3%, to $8.06.
