Uber and WeRide are bringing robotaxis to 15 new cities.

Uber and China’s WeRide are currently operating a small fleet of autonomous cars in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, and plan on launching soon in Dubai. Now they expect to deploy robotaxi service to 15 additional cities, some of which will be in Europe, over the next five years.

Uber has been on an absolute streak of adding new AVs to its platform over the past few years as it seeks to become a one-stop shop for robot cars of any brand (except Tesla, for now).
