Rides will be bookable through the Uber app, with fleet operations handled by AVOMO, a Moove Cars Group company that already runs Uber's autonomous-vehicle operations in Atlanta and Austin. The service is expected to begin later in 2026 in cooperation with Madrid's regional government.\n\nThe deployment will use WeRide's GXR vehicles and start with trained safety operators on board before scaling to hundreds of robotaxis as performance milestones are met, eventually expanding to fully driverless service across core urban areas. \"Launching driverless robotaxis in Madrid demonstrates our ability to operate safely in complex real-world conditions,\" said WeRide CEO Dr. Tony Han.\n\nMadrid is the fourth of 15 cities named under WeRide and Uber's global partnership, with 11 more planned by 2030. The move builds on the pair's existing driverless commercial services in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and marks a notable step for autonomous mobility in Europe."}}
