Autonomous driving technology provider WeRide is launching its latest generation Robotaxi, the GXR, for fully autonomous paid ride-hailing services in Beijing.
The move will be the GXR’s first large-scale commercial deployment in China, following its launch on the Uber platform in Abu Dhabi.
The Robotaxi’s service area spans regions within the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, including high-speed railway stations.
As well as on urban roads, the GXR is approved for commercial operations on highways, including routes to and from Beijing Daxing International Airport.
The GXR is the culmination of over five years of WeRide’s dedication to the Robotaxi field, featuring industry-leading L4-level fully unmanned commercial operation capabilities on public roads.
Dr. Tony Han, Founder and CEO of WeRide, said: “The commercial launch of Robotaxi GXR in Beijing represents a pivotal achievement for WeRide and the autonomous driving industry as a whole.
“By advancing from product launch to unmanned commercial operations in just four months, we’ve demonstrated that autonomous technology is ready to meet various transportation needs at scale.”
