Pioneering Autonomous Technology Drives Global Expansion And Commercial Market Growth

NEW YORK, March 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WeRide Inc. (Nasdaq: WRD) (“WeRide” or the “Company”), a global leader in autonomous driving technology, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.Recent HighlightsWeRide continues to enhance its global market presence through thoughtful market entries and strategic expansions in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. These efforts are all made possible by the Company’s continuous technological innovation and operational expertise, both key to its leadership in autonomous driving. In 2024, WeRide achieved record-high robotaxi revenue and the strongest international revenue since the company’s inception.WeRide Continues Technology Innovation with End-to-End Models in ADAS and Level-4 SystemsWeRide started to deploy end-to-end models in both Level-4 driverless and ADAS systems in 2024.WeRide’s end-to-end model employs a large VLM (visual-language model) which is encoded with general knowledge of the world and then trained with nearly 1 million hours of carefully selected high quality driving data from human drivers and simulated driving scenarios. This approach ensures the trained model has a general understanding of the world as well as deep driving insights.WeRide’s training data continuously grows to cover more long tail cases via real-world and simulated data.Eventually, WeRide’s autonomous driving systems can perform like a seasoned professional driver in complex urban scenarios. They can bring about human-like judgment and an extremely smooth driving experience to the Company’s customers.In WeRide’s Level-4 driverless products, such as robotaxi and robobus, the end-to-end model is accompanied with deterministic safety critical frameworks to bring about smooth, human-like driving experience while maintaining the same high level of safety required by driverless systems
