WeRide Launches Advanced Driver Assistance System for Autonomous Vehicles

WeRide Inc, a holding company providing autonomous driving products and services, has launched a new advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) designed for passenger vehicles. The system enables advanced autonomous driving functions and is designed to operate under all weather conditions. WeRide's products and services include Robotaxi, Robobus, Robovan, and Robosweepers.

WeRide Inc., a leading provider of autonomous driving products and services, has recently launched a new advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) designed for passenger vehicles. The system, called WePilot AiDrive, is aimed at enhancing the safety and efficiency of driving under various weather conditions. This latest development aligns with WeRide's ongoing efforts to expand its market offerings and stay at the forefront of autonomous driving technology.

WePilot AiDrive is a one-stage end-to-end ADAS solution, integrating both sensing and decision-making processes into a single architecture. This innovative approach allows vehicles to "see and act" simultaneously, delivering faster responses, shorter driving routes, and greater fault tolerance. The system is expected to enter mass production and vehicle deployment later in 2025, according to a press release from WeRide [2].

The new ADAS is designed to navigate complex road scenarios with ease, including lane changes in heavy traffic, detours around unplanned construction, unprotected turns at intersections, and smooth acceleration when following vehicles. It also handles interactions with pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and roadside obstacles on narrow roads in urban villages.

WePilot AiDrive's one-stage, end-to-end architecture offers several key advantages. It runs on high-performance computing platforms and can scale down to mid- and low-power setups via model distillation. The system's modular Level 2 functions simplify deployment, speed integration, and accelerate mass production. Additionally, WePilot AiDrive supports both pure vision and multi-sensor fusion, making it adaptable across different sensor setups.

WeRide's strategic equity investment by Grab, a leading ride-hailing and mobility company, underscores the potential of the new ADAS. The investment aims to enhance Grab's autonomous driving capabilities and expand its offerings in the market [1]. This partnership is part of Grab's broader strategy to leverage cutting-edge technology to improve its mobility services.

WeRide's recent earnings report highlighted a significant surge in revenue, despite experiencing a net loss. This indicates the company's growing market presence and technological advancements [2]. The approval for late-night testing of its Robotaxi in Beijing further demonstrates WeRide's commitment to building a robust autonomous mobility service [1].
