The third Chinese company to enter the emirate’s autonomous driving market, after deploying driverless test vehicles.


Uber riders in Dubai can now hail fully driverless Apollo Go vehicles, in the world’s first multi-partner autonomous network.

WeRide operates the TXAI service on Yas Island, the first level-four service available on the Uber platform outside the United States.

Three Chinese companies operate or test in the UAE while their American rivals stay in their home markets — and the reason is as much regulatory as commercial.
