At MOVE 2025, we spoke with Tony Han, CEO and Co-Founder of WeRide, about the company’s growth and its approach to global deployment of autonomous vehicle technology.
Founded in 2017 in Silicon Valley, WeRide has expanded to operate in 30 cities across 10 countries. The company’s autonomous fleet includes over 1,200 vehicles, such as robotaxis, robovans, and robosweepers. WeRide currently holds driverless permits in five countries: China, the United States, France, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates.
Han explained that the company evaluates new markets based on factors such as regulatory support and described a vision for mobility where travel time can also serve as productive time.
As WeRide continues to explore new markets including Europe, Japan, and the Middle East, the company remains focused on integrating autonomous technology into real-world urban transportation systems.
