WeRide Inc. (NASDAQ:WRD) and Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:UBER) on Tuesday announced plans to launch Spain’s first commercial robotaxi pilot in the Madrid region later this year, marking their first joint expansion into Europe.

The service will operate through the Uber app in partnership with Madrid’s regional government and AVOMO, a Moove Cars Group company. The initial fleet will include trained vehicle operators, with plans to expand to hundreds of robotaxis and eventually fully driverless service.

Something went wrong.

The Madrid launch is the fourth city under WeRide and Uber’s partnership, which aims to deploy tens of thousands of robotaxis globally by 2030. The companies already operate fully driverless robotaxi services in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, with Riyadh expected to follow.
