The three companies plan to scale the commercial robotaxi fleet to thousands of vehicles over the next few years.

The service is expected to launch in the coming month, allowing users to access fully autonomous ride-hailing service at designated locations.

Uber and Lyft both announced today they will partner with Baidu to test robotaxis in the UK, starting with London.

Momenta will test Level 4 autonomous robotaxis with Uber in Munich, Germany, in 2026.

WeRide gets the green light to roll out robotaxis across Saudi Arabia, starting with a pilot in Riyadh with Uber and its local partner Ai Driver.

The first deployments are expected to take place later this year in Asia and the Middle East, using Apollo Go's sixth-generation robotaxi.

WeRide's first robotaxis will start commercial operations with safety officers and fully driverless testing in Dubai this year, with fully driverless commercial operations set to start in the first quarter of 2026.

The investment, which will be closed in the coming months, will be Uber's largest investment in the autonomous driving space to date.

The partnership is expected to first launch in a key market in the Middle East later this year.

WeRide and Uber will expand their robotaxi partnership to several new cities each year outside the US and China.
