Hesai Lidar Powers WeRide-Uber Autonomous Fleet in Dubai, Backing City's Self-Driving Vision
Hesai Technology (NASDAQ: HSAI) has announced its lidar solutions will power WeRide's autonomous vehicles operating on Uber's platform in Dubai, supporting the city's 2030 smart mobility initiative. Each autonomous vehicle will be equipped with four Hesai automotive-grade long-range lidars.
The partnership aligns with Dubai's goal to convert 25% of all city journeys into autonomous trips by 2030. WeRide, which secured the UAE's first national license for self-driving vehicles on public roads in July 2023, previously launched successful robotaxi operations in Abu Dhabi in 2021.
This collaboration builds upon Hesai and WeRide's existing relationship since 2019, when Hesai's lidars were first integrated into WeRide's autonomous fleets. In April 2022, the companies entered a strategic cooperation agreement to promote automotive-grade, hybrid solid-state lidar applications for L4 autonomous vehicles.

Ogni veicolo autonomo sarà dotato di quattro lidar di livello automobilistico di Hesai a lungo raggio.
La partnership si allinea con l'obiettivo di Dubai di convertire il 25% di tutti i viaggi in città in viaggi autonomi entro il 2030. WeRide, che ha ottenuto la prima licenza nazionale degli Emirati Arabi Uniti per veicoli a guida autonoma su strade pubbliche a luglio 2023, ha precedentemente lanciato operazioni di robotaxi di successo ad Abu Dhabi nel 2021.
Questa collaborazione si basa sulla relazione esistente tra Hesai e WeRide dal 2019, quando i lidar di Hesai sono stati integrati per la prima volta nelle flotte autonome di WeRide. Nell'aprile 2022, le aziende hanno firmato un accordo di cooperazione strategica per promuovere applicazioni lidar ibride di livello automobilistico per veicoli autonomi L4.

헤사이 테크놀로지 (NASDAQ: HSAI)는 자사의 라이다 솔루션이 두바이에서 우버 플랫폼에서 운영되는 위라이드의 자율주행차를 지원할 것이라고 발표했습니다. 이는 도시의 2030 스마트 모빌리티 이니셔티브를 지원하는 것입니다. 각 자율주행차는 헤사이의 자동차 등급 장거리 라이다 4개로 장착될 것입니다.
이번 파트너십은 두바이가 2030년까지 도시 내 모든 여행의 25%를 자율주행 여행으로 전환하는 목표와 일치합니다. 위라이드는 2023년 7월 공공 도로에서 자율주행 차량에 대한 UAE 최초의 국가 라이센스를 취득했으며, 2021년에는 아부다비에서 성공적인 로봇택시 운영을 시작했습니다.
이번 협력은 2019년부터 헤사이와 위라이드 간의 기존 관계를 기반으로 하며, 헤사이의 라이다가 위라이드의 자율주행 차량에 처음 통합된 것입니다. 2022년 4월, 두 회사는 L4 자율주행 차량을 위한 자동차 등급 하이브리드 고체 상태 라이다 응용 프로그램을 촉진하기 위해 전략적 협력 계약을 체결했습니다.

Insights
Hesai's partnership with WeRide to power autonomous vehicles operating on Uber's platform in Dubai represents a meaningful commercial deployment of the company's lidar technology. The specification that each vehicle will be equipped with four Hesai automotive-grade long-range lidars is particularly significant, as it indicates substantial unit volume potential per vehicle.
This deal builds upon a collaboration dating back to 2019, demonstrating Hesai's ability to maintain and expand key customer relationships in the competitive lidar space. WeRide's achievement as the first company to secure a national-level driverless license in the UAE gives this deployment added credibility and regulatory backing.
Dubai's ambitious target to convert 25% of all journeys to autonomous trips by 2030 creates a defined market opportunity with government support. This deployment serves as a reference case that could strengthen Hesai's position when pursuing additional autonomous mobility customers globally.
The multi-party nature of this announcement - involving Hesai (technology provider), WeRide (autonomous system developer), and Uber (mobility platform) - illustrates the complex value chain in autonomous transportation and Hesai's successful integration into this ecosystem. The deployment builds on previous successes, including powering China's first commercialized robotaxi service in Guangzhou.
