WeRide, Uber, and fleet operator AVOMO have announced Spain's first commercial robotaxi pilot in the Region of Madrid, with rides bookable through the Uber app. The service will initially include safety operators in vehicles, scaling progressively toward fully driverless rides. AVOMO, already managing Uber's autonomous fleets in Austin and Atlanta, will handle fleet operations under WeRide's asset-light model. Madrid marks WeRide's fifth European market and the fourth of 15 cities planned under its Uber expansion agreement, with 11 more cities targeted by 2030. The launch timeline and specific details remain contingent on regulatory approvals and safety milestones.
