Uber and WeRide Debut International Robotaxi Service in Abu Dhabi

Uber and WeRide have launched a commercial robotaxi service in Abu Dhabi, marking Uber's first international autonomous vehicle offering. The service will initially operate on a small scale with human safety operators, with plans for a fully driverless launch in 2025. This partnership is part of Uber's broader strategy to collaborate with autonomous vehicle companies, though investors remain cautious about Uber's ability to compete with tech developers like Waymo.
