WeRide and Uber Launch Spain's First Commercial Robotaxi Pilot
WeRide (WRD) and Uber (UBER) announced plans to launch Spain's first commercial Robotaxi pilot in the Region of Madrid, marking the companies' first joint entry into the European market. The service is expected to begin operations later this year, in collaboration with Madrid's Regional Government, with rides available via the Uber app. The parties expect the fleet to scale progressively and will initially include trained vehicle operators, with WeRide, Avomo and Uber committed to adding hundreds of Robotaxis as performance milestones are met, including the expansion of fully driverless commercial service across core urban areas.
