� WeRide and Uber launch driverless robotaxi rides in Dubai

WeRide and Uber started fully driverless robotaxi operations with paid rides in Dubai, covering Jumeirah and Umm Suqeim.

Users can now book the service directly through the Uber app.

The rollout includes Level 4 vehicles with no driver onboard and is backed by Dubai’s transport authority.

The launch follows trials that began in late 2025, with expansion planned across industrial, suburban, and port areas.

Uber holds about 5.82% of WeRide, and both companies plan to deploy at least 1,200 robotaxis across the Middle East by 2030.

WeRide already operates over 200 in the region and reports profitability in its local robotaxi business.
