WeRide has launched 24-hour fully driverless commercial operations in Huangpu District, Guangzhou, with its mass-produced Robotaxi GXR.
This is the world’s first autonomous ride-hailing service offering point-to-point trips across any location in the core urban area of a major city, WeRide says. Passengers can now hail a fully driverless Robotaxi GXR via the WeRide Go app anywhere in Huangpu District.
Since launching the GXR in October 2024, WeRide has completed 11 months of road testing and secured model certification and an operating license, alongside transitioning from onboard safety drivers to fully driverless commercial service. The GXR is powered by the HPC 3.0 computing platform with Nvidia‘s latest dual Drive AGX Thor.
Looking ahead, WeRide says it will continue to “advance its core autonomous driving technologies, enhance the Robotaxi service experience and accelerate large-scale, fully driverless commercialization through partnerships with more cities and stakeholders.”
