What it does

Chinese self-driving company that develops level 4 driving software and runs robotaxis, robobuses and robo-sweepers in cities across Asia, the Middle East and Europe.

Why it matters

WeRide is one of the few publicly listed companies operating driverless vehicles commercially; its robotaxi platform runs on NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion and Thor, and it reported a fleet of about 3,400 level 4 vehicles including more than 1,800 robotaxis as of July 2026.

How it makes money

Sells autonomous vehicles and driving systems and earns service revenue from robotaxi and robobus operations and from engineering services, often alongside ride-hailing and transit partners.
