Founded in 2017 with a mission to "transform human mobility through autonomous driving," WeRide is the only technology company holding autonomous driving permits across eight nations: China, the UAE, Singapore, France, the United States, Saudi Arabia, Belgium, and Switzerland. It conducts R&D, testing, and operations in more than 40 cities across 11 countries.
WeRide listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market on October 25, 2024, becoming the world's first publicly traded general autonomous driving company and the first Robotaxi stock. On November 6, 2025, it listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, marking the debut of the first Robotaxi stock in the city and making WeRide the first autonomous driving tech firm to achieve a dual primary listing in both the U.S. and Hong Kong.
Dedicated to developing safe and reliable autonomous driving technology, WeRide focuses on Robotaxis, Robobuses, and advanced driver-assistance solutions, while also covering freight and sanitation scenarios. The company has established strategic partnerships with top global OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers—including the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, Yutong Group, Bosch, and GAC Group—to provide new mobility options.
