WeRide supplies for Swiss project

Guangzhou-based startup WeRide has become the official technology supplier for a new autonomous driving pilot project in Switzerland.

Residents in four municipalities in the Furttal region will be able to book rides on driverless cars powered by WeRide technology on the ioki vehicle app from the second quarter of this year, the company announced Tuesday. Pilot operations will later be expanded to three more municipalities. The project was founded by the Canton of Zurich and Swiss national railway operator Schweizerische Bundesbahnen and is managed by the Swiss Transit Lab.
