Deployment-verified media (4)
WeRide and Uber's launch of fully driverless commercial robotaxi operations on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, via the Uber platform. The 'Middle East's first fully driverless commercial' framing is WeRide and Uber's claim; the service is geofenced to select Yas Island locations.
From deployment: Abu Dhabi
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).
From deployment: Abu Dhabi
WeRide's footage of its fully driverless robotaxi service in Guangzhou's Huangpu District. Coverage and '24/7 fully driverless' framing are WeRide's own claims (China-AV self-reported scope).
From deployment: Guangzhou
Official WeRide video announcing the launch of autonomous ride-hailing service on the Uber platform in Abu Dhabi. The service covers Saadiyat Island, Yas Island, and Zayed International Airport routes.
From deployment: Abu Dhabi
Manufacturer-attributed media (1)
Manufacturer-supplied media at the model level. Not tied to an independently verified named-site deployment. Verification posture is product-showcase from the maker, distinct from the deployment-verified evidence in the section above.
WeRide's launch of GXR robotaxi and Robobus pilots in Ras Al Khaimah, its third UAE emirate. A geofenced, early-stage pilot; the driverless-versus-safety-operator status is not asserted here, so treat it as a supervised pilot unless separately verified.
