Uber launches true driverless robotaxi operations in the Middle East with WeRide

Just over a year after Uber announced a strategic partnership in the Middle East with autonomous vehicle specialist WeRide, the companies have officially begun offering the public robotaxi rides without a driver or safety operator present on board.

Today’s latest milestone involving robotaxi operations in the Middle East dates back to September 2024, when Uber and WeRide initially announced a strategic partnership to bring autonomous rides to the UAE.

This will be interesting. I wonder if any sort of good data will be available regarding incidents, safety concerns, challenges, etc.

We get to watch the show regardless!
