WeRide’s U.S.-listed shares rose 5% in premarket trading.

WeRide Inc., a global leader in autonomous driving technology, has announced that its Robotaxi has received Saudi Arabia's first autonomous driving permit.

This approval marks WeRide as the world's only technology company with autonomous driving permits in six countries, including Saudi Arabia, China, the UAE, Singapore, France, and the US. The permit was granted following rigorous testing and assessments conducted in coordination with multiple government agencies.

This milestone enables WeRide to operate and deploy Robotaxis nationwide in Saudi Arabia, starting with pilot operations in Riyadh in partnership with Uber and local partner Ai Driver. A full-scale commercial Robotaxi service is expected to launch by the end of 2025. This expansion reinforces WeRide's commitment to advancing autonomous mobility globally.
