WeRide Launches One-Stage ADAS Solution With Bosch, Expands Global Reach in Autonomous Driving

WeRide has launched WePilot AiDrive, a one-stage end-to-end ADAS solution developed with Bosch. The system integrates sensing and decision-making, allowing vehicles to "see and act" simultaneously, delivering quicker responses, shorter routes, and higher fault tolerance. WePilot AiDrive has completed core function validation and is expected to enter mass production and vehicle deployment later in 2025. The company is expanding its global presence through partnerships with Grab and Uber.

WeRide, a global leader in autonomous driving technology, has launched WePilot AiDrive, a one-stage end-to-end Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) solution developed in partnership with Bosch. This innovative system integrates sensing and decision-making into a single architecture, enabling vehicles to "see and act" simultaneously, similar to human drivers [1].

WePilot AiDrive offers several key advantages, including faster responses, shorter driving routes, and greater fault tolerance. The system has completed core function validation and is expected to enter mass production and vehicle deployment later in 2025 [1]. This advanced technology positions WeRide as a leader in the autonomous driving sector, capable of handling complex scenarios such as lane changes in heavy traffic, unprotected turns, and interactions with pedestrians [1].

The partnership with Bosch, a leading Tier 1 supplier, enhances WeRide's credibility and provides established manufacturing channels essential for mass adoption. WePilot AiDrive's decoupled middleware architecture offers superior hardware adaptability, enabling faster integration across diverse vehicle platforms [1]. This approach mirrors human cognition by enabling simultaneous perception and action, making WePilot AiDrive a significant technological advancement [2].

WeRide's introduction of WePilot AiDrive aligns with industry trends toward more advanced driver assistance systems. The system's ability to handle complex scenarios, including lane changes in heavy traffic, unprotected turns, and interactions with pedestrians, positions WeRide as a leader in the autonomous driving sector [1].

In addition to the launch of WePilot AiDrive, WeRide is expanding its global presence through strategic partnerships. The company has forged a partnership with Grab, taking a strategic equity stake to accelerate the deployment and commercialization of Level 4 Robotaxis and shuttles across Southeast Asia [2]. Simultaneously, WeRide is broadening its global presence through a Robotaxi partnership with Uber in Abu Dhabi, planning to scale its fleet to hundreds of vehicles in 2025 [2].

Despite recent stock market challenges, WeRide is doubling down on its global expansion in autonomous driving. The company is forging new partnerships in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, reflecting its commitment to the sector [2].
