WeRide's Autonomous Fleet Exceeds 100 Vehicles: Advancing from Fully Open Robotaxi Operations to Full Unmanned Driving

After over 100 days of fully open Robotaxi operations, WeRide has publicly unveiled its fleet of more than 100 autonomous vehicles for the first time. Moving forward, WeRide will enter a new development phase of scaling Robotaxi operations and achieving full unmanned driving. img_v3_02b4_dabab0bc-a7a9-414b-b64f-c899f2318c5g.jpg WeRide's fleet of over 100 autonomous vehicles

Since its inception, WeRide’s autonomous vehicle fleet has been continuously expanding. As of April 2020, WeRide's fleet of Level 4 autonomous vehicles in China and the U.S. exceeded 100 vehicles across six different models. Over 40 of these vehicles are used for WeRide's fully open Robotaxi operations in Huangpu District and the Development Zone of Guangzhou, while the remaining 60 are used for road testing. 车队视频.mp4 The fleet includes models such as the Lincoln MKZ, the 2019 Nissan LEAF2, the GAC GE3, the GAC Aion LX, the newly launched XPeng P7, and the Dongfeng Nissan Sylphy EV specifically for Robotaxi operations. This is the first time a Chinese autonomous driving company has publicly revealed a fleet of over 100 vehicles for testing and operations. img_v3_02b4_05bfb9ef-9d57-41b2-96c6-9e48486fe69g.jpg WeRide's Robotaxi fleet

As one of the earliest teams to engage in autonomous driving startups in China, WeRide has synchronized with the pulse of China's autonomous driving development and achieved several industry milestones:

  • November 2018: Released China's first Level 4 autonomous taxi
  • August 2019: Established a Robotaxi operation joint venture, WeRide RoboTaxi, with Baiyun Taxi Group and Science City Group
  • Late November 2019: Launched China's first fully open Robotaxi operation service
  • February 2020: Released China's first Robotaxi operation report. In the first month of operation (December 2019), they completed 8,396 ride orders with zero safety incidents, averaging 270.8 trips per day, with a maximum of 438 orders in a single day, totaling 41,140 kilometers, and serving 4,683 users

WeRide's pioneering efforts in autonomous driving technology development and commercialization provide a practical reference for the industry, driving the construction of the autonomous driving ecosystem. img_v3_02b4_223e2ccb-65f2-4af2-9150-aa4ece3064ag.jpg WeRide’s fully open Robotaxi service

Robotaxi is the crown jewel of autonomous driving technology, with fully open operations in urban travel being the brightest gem on this crown. WeRide's fully open Robotaxi operations have been running for over 100 days, and more players are gradually entering the autonomous driving market. In the era of new infrastructure and under the "Intelligent Vehicle Innovation Development Strategy," WeRide firmly believes in the promising future of Robotaxi in China. img_v3_02b4_5a1c49d8-622f-4a5e-8198-1b442c49518g.png Overview of WeRide’s Robotaxi operations

Starting with a fleet of over 100 autonomous vehicles, WeRide will continue to scale Robotaxi operations, maintaining industry-leading development speed. In 2020, WeRide’s focus is on stabilizing technology, expanding operations, and advancing policy, striving towards the next development milestone—achieving full unmanned driving.
