GUANGZHOU, China, Feb. 24, 2025 — WeRide (Nasdaq: WRD), a leading autonomous driving firm, has received the green light to deploy its latest Robotaxi model, the GXR, for fully driverless, paid ride services in Beijing. This marks the second WeRide Robotaxi to achieve fully unmanned commercial operation in Beijing and the GXR’s first large-scale commercial deployment in China, following its introduction on the Uber platform in Abu Dhabi last December.

The service area will cover key areas within the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, including high-speed rail stations. The GXR is also approved for commercial use on highways, including routes to and from Beijing Daxing International Airport.
