Uber has introduced its Robotaxi services in Abu Dhabi, marking its first international initiative to integrate autonomous vehicles from multiple operators onto its platform. The launch is part of Uber’s collaboration with WeRide, a Chinese autonomous driving startup.
Abu Dhabi customers can now book WeRide autonomous vehicles via the TXAI app. Initially, these vehicles will include safety drivers, but fully driverless operations are planned for 2025. Fares for these rides will match UberX and Uber Comfort pricing and must be paid upfront.
WeRide, which holds driverless operation permits in the UAE, Singapore, China, and the USA, partnered with Uber last year. Despite this collaboration, Uber has no current plans to expand its partnership with WeRide beyond the UAE
