WeRide: Pilot robotaxi rides on Uber with a vehicle operator on board, under Saudi Arabia's first robotaxi permit from the Transport General Authority. The WeRide and Uber service began in late October 2025 on two routes, inside Roshn Front and inside Princess Nourah University, each with several stations. TGA now lists more than five routes in Riyadh, adding Hayat Mall to Riyadh Gallery (March 30, 2026) and the airport, without naming which company runs each. WeRide and Uber plan to move to driverless operation and to scale the Middle East fleet to 1,200 by 2027. Pickup points, not a service area.

Sources and limitations

• WeRide · autonomousvehicleinternational.com · Partly checked Nov 6, 2026Added from WeRide announcements and TGA sources; not yet in the coverage sheet. Rechecked Nov 6, 2026: TGA still lists the pilot with a safety officer on board. A Ministry of Transport presentation (Oct 22, 2026) names Pony.ai as well as WeRide among Riyadh's technology providers, so routes beyond Roshn Front and PNU may not be WeRide's. Station names and fares are not published.
