Uber invests $100M in WeRide to fuel robotaxi expansion across 15 more cities | TechCrunch
Briefly

Uber and WeRide are set to broaden their commercial robotaxi services to an additional 15 cities worldwide over the next five years, following a successful launch in Abu Dhabi. As part of this initiative, Uber will invest $100 million into WeRide, with funds expected to be available by 2025. The partnership allows WeRide’s services to be accessed via the Uber app, similar to Uber's collaboration with Waymo. The expansion will primarily target international markets, excluding the U.S. and China, marking significant growth for both companies in the driverless technology arena.
Uber and WeRide will expand their robotaxi service to 15 more cities, backed by a $100 million investment, building on their existing partnership in Abu Dhabi.
The partnership with WeRide aligns with Uber's strategy of investing in autonomous vehicle technology, as they plan to leverage WeRide's capabilities in new markets globally.
