A bold new chapter in urban mobility is unfolding in Dubai, as WeRide partners with the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and Uber to pilot autonomous vehicles later this year. The initiative marks a major step toward Dubai’s ambition to become the world’s smartest city while offering consumers a futuristic ride-hailing experience powered by innovation.

Autonomous Rides Just a Tap Away

Starting in late 2025, riders in Dubai will be able to book autonomous vehicles via the Uber app as part of the pilot program. In this initial phase, vehicles will include a safety driver on board to ensure a smooth transition. These test operations will pave the way for full-scale commercial rollouts of driverless services in 2026.

The collaboration reflects a significant milestone for the three organizations, combining WeRide’s autonomous technology, Uber’s platform reach, and RTA’s smart mobility leadership.
