WeRide announced Thursday its entry into the self-driving freight sector with the launch of WeRide Robovan, which the company calls China's first L4 self-driving van.

Two days after self-driving company AutoX demonstrated its ability to navigate chaotic, dense roads during rush hours, its local counterpart WeRide also showed off its muscles, and in heavy rain.

Chinese self-driving mobility company WeRide has acquired self-driving freight startup MoonX for an undisclosed amount, according to an announcement from WeRide on Tuesday.

Chinese LiDAR supplier Hesai Technology and autonomous driving system developer WeRide have entered into a strategic partnership to jointly promote the adoption of driverless technology.

WeRide is currently conducting unmanned testing in China and the US to prepare for the final step of test validation for the operation of driverless minibuses.

After raising $310 million, WeRide is the seventh company to receive a driverless testing permit, following AutoX, Baidu, Cruise, Nuro Waymo, and Zoox.

WeRide, with L4 autonomous driving technology, has become the first autonomous driving company in China that receives a ride-hailing operation license, which was issued by the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Transportation.
