WeRide Officially Unveils GXR - its Latest Generation of Robotaxi

China's WeRide, a commercial-stage company developing autonomous driving technologies from Level 2 to Level 4, has officially unveiled its latest generation of Robotaxi - GXR. It is the first Robotaxi to eliminate the front passenger seat. 

WeRide says it's the world's most spacious production Robotaxi model to date.

It offers a vehicle length of 5,018mm, an interior cabin height of 1,340mm, and a wheelbase of 3,100mm.

GXR integrates the company's self-developed L4-level autonomous driving hardwares and softwares, open-concept spacious designs, a new Sensor Suite and the HPC 2.0 high-performance computing platform.

As a production Robotaxi model, WeRide GXR is equipped with a comprehensive redundancy system, including architecture, F-O steer-by-wire chassis, computing units, and braking systems, preventing single-point failures and ensuring passenger safety. 

The new Sensor Suite 5.6 features over 20 sensors, including high-performance, low-cost LiDAR, high-definition high-dynamic cameras, and an RTK high-precision inertial navigation set, with 360° blind-spot-free perception and 200-meter front detection. 

Once GXR is open to the public, passengers can use the app to locate GXR operating zones, select the nearest pickup point and destination, and tap 'Call Now' to start their GXR journey.

In a press release, the company states: 'WeRide has maintained its leadership in the Robotaxi industry and expanded its footprint overseas, operating the largest Robotaxi fleet in the Middle East. WeRide GXR is the latest milestone in WeRide’s mission to enhance passenger experiences through its international operational expertise'.

WeRide has experience of over 1,800 days in public Robotaxi operation.
