WeRide, a global leader in autonomous driving technology, has accelerated the international expansion of its L2++ end-to-end intelligent driving solution, marking another step in its global mobility strategy. Developed using WeRide’s proprietary one-stage end-to-end intelligent driving algorithm and integrated with Bosch’s automotive-grade domain controller platform, the solution has entered on-road testing and localization validation across key international markets, including Germany, France and Japan.
The company said the ongoing testing programme is designed to validate the solution under diverse road conditions and regulatory environments while enhancing its adaptability for global deployment. By expanding real-world testing across multiple regions, WeRide aims to strengthen its product development, engineering validation and localization capabilities, supporting the broader commercialization of its intelligent driving technologies worldwide.
As intelligent driving becomes a critical competitive differentiator for automakers expanding beyond their home markets, the industry’s focus is shifting from single-market optimization to global capability building. Delivering a consistent, safe and comfortable driving experience across different regulatory frameworks, road infrastructures, driving behaviors and environmental conditions is emerging as one of the defining challenges for next-generation intelligent driving systems.
To address this challenge, WeRide is systematically expanding its global engineering and validation capabilities. Together with Bosch, one of the world’s leading automotive suppliers, the company is conducting on-road testing and adaptation programs in key international markets, including Germany, France and Japan. These efforts are helping WeRide accumulate experience across diverse driving environments while building a full-cycle engineering framework covering R&D, testing, validation and commercial deployment.
At the same time, WeRide is working closely with multiple automakers to better understand local mobility needs, driving behaviors and customer preferences. By incorporating regional road characteristics, regulatory requirements and driving cultures into product development, the company continues to refine the features and capabilities that deliver the greatest value to users worldwide.
The solution is powered by a unified end-to-end AI architecture that integrates perception, prediction, planning and control within a single model while supporting both driving and parking scenarios. It brings together WeRide’s latest advancements in end-to-end AI models, system-level integration and hardware-software co-optimization.
The architecture enables more efficient understanding of complex interactions among vehicles, pedestrians and surrounding infrastructure while reducing cumulative system errors. As a result, the solution delivers stronger scene understanding, broader scenario generalization and enhanced safety redundancy, allowing it to adapt rapidly to diverse driving environments around the world.
From Germany’s unrestricted autobahns and France’s dense roundabouts to right-hand-drive markets in Japan and Southeast Asia, as well as the extreme climate conditions of the Middle East, the solution is designed to support scalable deployment across a wide range of global operating environments.
While expanding its international validation footprint, WeRide’s one-stage end-to-end intelligent driving solution continues to demonstrate strong performance in China’s highly complex traffic conditions. Over the past six months, Chery Exeed ES and ET models equipped with WRD 3.0 have secured six consecutive victories in the China Intelligent Driving Challenge. The solution has also achieved design wins across more than 30 production vehicle programs with leading automakers, including Chery and GAC Group, demonstrating growing commercial adoption alongside its technology leadership.
As global demand for intelligent driving technologies continues to grow, WeRide is leveraging experience gained from China’s complex road environments together with ongoing overseas validation efforts to strengthen the adaptability and robustness of its end-to-end intelligent driving solution. By extending testing and adaptation across diverse markets, the company is bringing proven capabilities from China to driving environments around the world.
