Uber increases stake in WeRide as robotaxi partnership ramps up in Dubai

Uber and WeRide have started driverless robotaxi rides in Dubai bookable through the Uber app and operated locally by Tawasul.

Dubai’s RTA issued a driverless vehicle trial permit last month after a December pilot that included a human safety operator and free rides.

Uber increased its stake in WeRide to 5.82%, a holding valued at about $400 million, and previously invested $100 million in May 2025.
