Chinese autonomous driving startup WeRide said on Wednesday that it aims to expand its services in the central areas of cities, as the sector eyes commercialisation.

“All we have achieved is aimed at covering urban centre areas one day,” said Tony Han, WeRide’s chief executive. The company will initially target Guangzhou, but its services were currently stretched thin because of a limited number of vehicles. “We are working to add more autonomous vehicles to our fleet, and hope this soon covers core urban areas in Guangzhou,” he added.
