WeRide has received a three-year permit to test autonomous vehicles in California, but cannot accept fares or transport the general public, highlighting the cautious regulatory environment.
WeRide is entering a competitive market, facing challenges as public perception of robotaxis varies greatly, particularly following incidents involving competitors like Cruise and Waymo.
With a string of accidents involving existing robotaxi services, including a dogs' death and driving infractions, the reception from both public and regulators is critical.
WeRide’s tests in California will involve a limited fleet of 12 vehicles, raising questions about its viability in a landscape shaped by mixed feelings towards autonomous driving.
