WeRide, a global leading autonomous driving technology company, and Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER), the world’s largest mobility and delivery technology platform, announced on September 25 a strategic partnership to bring WeRide’s autonomous vehicles onto the Uber platform, beginning in the United Arab Emirates.
双方的合作将于今年年底首先在阿联酋首都阿布扎比正式落地，一批文远知行自动驾驶车辆将上线Uber App，面向消费者提供服务。合作落地后，当地乘客在使用Uber App打车时，可以多一个新的出行选项，即选择乘坐文远知行的自动驾驶车辆来完成行程。双方的合作不涉及美国和中国市场。
The partnership is expected to launch first in Abu Dhabi later this year. A dedicated number of WeRide vehicles will be made available to consumers using the Uber app. After launch, when a rider requests a qualifying ride on the Uber app, they may be presented with the option to have their trip fulfilled by a WeRide autonomous vehicle. The partnership does not contemplate any launches in the United States or China.
目前，文远知行运营着阿联酋最大的自动驾驶出租车（Robotaxi）车队，当地居民可以通过TXAI App享受自动驾驶出租车（Robotaxi）服务。2023年7月，文远知行取得了阿联酋首个也是唯一一个国家级全域自动驾驶路跑牌照，获批在阿联酋全国范围的公共道路上开展自动驾驶车辆测试及运营。
WeRide currently operates the largest robotaxi fleet in the UAE, where residents can access its robotaxi services through the TXAI app. In addition, in July 2023, WeRide was granted the UAE’s first and only national license for self-driving vehicles, enabling it to test and operate its autonomous vehicles on public roads across the entire country.
文远知行创始人兼CEO韩旭表示：“文远知行非常荣幸能与Uber建立合作，从而持续将我们的技术带向国际市场。通过整合双方的经验和专长，我们致力于为国际用户提供必需的、可负担的、可持续且安全的出行解决方案。”
Tony Han, founder and CEO of WeRide said: “We are honored to partner with Uber to continue to bring our technology to global markets. Together, we aim to combine our collective experience and expertise to deliver much needed, affordable, sustainable and safe mobility solutions to a global audience.”
Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber said: “Uber is very excited to partner with WeRide. It’s clear that the future of mobility will be increasingly shared, electric, and autonomous, and we look forward to working with leading AV companies like WeRide to help bring the benefits of autonomous technology to cities around the world.”
Uber首席执行官达拉·科斯罗萨西（Dara Khosrowshahi）表示：“Uber非常高兴能与文远知行达成合作。显而易见地，未来的出行将越来越共享化、电动化和自动化。我们期待与像文远知行这样的领先自动驾驶公司合作，将自动驾驶技术的便利传递到世界各地。”
