WeRide's reveal of its production GXR robotaxi (spacious interior, an L4 redundant drive-by-wire chassis, a hidden B-pillar), citing 1,800 days of operations. The 1,800-days and L4 framing are WeRide's claims (China self-reported-scope caveat).

Operator: WeRide with Uber (asset-light). In March 2026, WeRide and Uber officially commenced robotaxi commercial services in Dubai, the city's first publicly available robotaxi fleet. Passengers hail rides via the Uber app in popular areas such as Jumeirah and Umm Suqeim, served by the GXR. Fully-driverless operations set to follow the initial public-passenger launch.
