""Bringing fully driverless vehicles to Dubai is an important milestone in making autonomous mobility a global reality. This launch underscores our deep commitment to the UAE and our vision for a hybrid world - where drivers and AVs operate side-by-side to create a more resilient network.""
""Uber invested $100 million into WeRide in May 2025 as part of a commercial robotaxi partnership to bring service to another 15 cities over the next five years.""
Uber and WeRide have initiated robotaxi operations in Dubai without a human safety operator, allowing riders to book through Uber's app. The service operates in various districts, including Dubai Silicon Oasis and Al Hamriya Port, and is managed by local operator Tawasul. Previously, a pilot program included a human operator and free rides. The deployment follows Uber's increased investment in WeRide, now holding a 5.82% stake valued at approximately $400 million. This launch marks a significant step towards autonomous mobility in the region.
