🚨 Uber and WeRide launch robotaxi service in Abu Dhabi Uber and Chinese autonomous vehicle company WeRide have launched a commercial robotaxi service in Abu Dhabi, marking Uber's first international autonomous vehicle offering. This partnership is part of Uber's broader strategy to collaborate with various autonomous vehicle firms. Despite these initiatives, investors remain cautious about Uber's ability to compete with technology developers like Waymo and Tesla, particularly after Uber's stock fell nearly 10% following Waymo's announcement of a robotaxi service in Miami. The initial rollout in Abu Dhabi will be limited, with specific routes between Saadiyat Island, Yas Island, and Zayed International Airport. Each vehicle will have a human safety operator initially, with plans for a fully driverless launch in 2025. Uber and WeRide will collaborate with local Tawasul Transport for fleet operations. 💬 Source 📌 Powered by V3V Ventures
