WeRide starts 24/7 robotaxi testing in Beijing
WeRide has received approval to conduct late-night testing of its robotaxi on public roads within the Beijing high-level autonomous driving demonstration zone from 10pm to 7am. This milestone is a “crucial step” in building a 24/7 autonomous ride-hailing network in Beijing, the company says, and lays lays the groundwork for all-weather, all-day autonomous mobility services.
Beijing’s complex night-time road conditions, characterized by low lighting, environmental interference – heavy rain in the summer and snow in the winter – pose significant challenges for autonomous driving systems.
