- WeRide looks forward to introducing the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion platform-powered Robotaxi GXR in Southeast Asia, building on the strategic partnership with Grab
- This supports WeRide’s roadmap of over 2,600 active Robotaxis globally by 2026 and tens of thousands by 2030
SAN JOSE, Calif., March 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WeRide (NASDAQ: WRD; HKEX: 0800), a global leader in autonomous driving technology, showcased its Robotaxi GXR at NVIDIA GTC 2026 today, expanding the model’s global appearance. Building on the strategic partnership with Grab , Southeast Asia’s leading superapp and a WeRide shareholder, WeRide looks forward to introducing the vehicle across key Southeast Asian markets over time.
WeRide’s Robotaxi GXR is engineered for dense, complex urban environments like those across Southeast Asia. It leverages the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion autonomous vehicle development platform, powered by the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor system-on-chip, which is integrated into WeRide’s HPC 3.0 high performance computing unit . HPC 3.0 reduces autonomous driving suite cost by 50% and lowers total cost of ownership (TCO) by 84%, with the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion platform standardizing computing power, sensor processing, and safety systems across Robotaxi fleets. Overall, this integrated platform enables faster deployment, scalability, and easier cross-market validation.
