Autonomous driving technology firm WeRide has received Level-4 driverless public road testing and operating permit in France.
This permit, secured in partnership with French autonomous mobility network operator beti, makes WeRide the “only technology company” with driverless permits in five countries including China, the UAE, Singapore, France, and the US.
The new permit allows WeRide’s autonomous minibus to operate at speeds up to 40km/h, which is claimed to be the highest-speed driverless permit issued in the country.
