Uber已与中国自动驾驶汽车企业合作，计划在今年晚些时候将其无人出租车服务拓展至阿拉伯联合酋长国的阿布扎比地区。据周三发布的双方声明指出，阿布扎比的Uber应用程序用户将能够预定一辆无人驾驶出租车。
在此之前，Uber与Waymo、Aurora等无人驾驶汽车公司达成了一系列协议，旨在使其成为商用化自动驾驶车辆平台的主要角色。这标志着Uber从过去自行研发自动驾驶技术的战略转型而出发。
来自广州的WeRide公司在2023年7月获得了阿拉伯联合酋长国首个国家无人驾驶车辆许可，并在此之后运营着该地区最大的无人驾驶出租车车队。获得许可时，该公司拥有八辆无人驾驶出租车。
此前宣布的合作在阿布扎比即将推出的无人出租车服务之前。
