WeRide’s WRD 3.0 Makes History as the Only Four‑Time Champion at China Urban Intelligent Driving Competition

About this update from Weride Inc. Class A

WUHU, China, April 20, 2026 -- At the Wuhu round of the Second China Urban Intelligent Driving Competition hosted by D1EV, a leading media platform in the electric and intelligent vehicle sector, the Chery Exeed Sterra ET – equipped with the one‑stage end‑to‑end ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) solution jointly developed by WeRide and Bosch – secured first place by over 10 points, with Horizon Robotics and XPeng taking second and third place.With this victory, WeRide Driving (WeRide WRD 3.0) becomes the first and only solution in the competition’s history to achieve four consecutive wins, reinforcing its technological leadership in complex urban driving environments.WeRide Driving (WRD 3.0) is the first and only solution to achieve four consecutive wins in the Second China Urban Intelligent Driving CompetitionFrom its first win in Taizhou to a sustained undefeated run, WeRide WRD 3.0’s success reflects WeRide’s long‑term technological accumulation and proven engineering execution.Rapid technological iteration sits at the core of WRD 3.0. Leveraging its proprietary GENESIS general‑purpose simulation world model together with large‑scale L4 fully driverless real‑world road data, WeRide can systematically reproduce rare and challenging long‑tail scenarios at scale. Through continuous training, validation, and optimization, this approach creates a high‑efficiency closed loop that connects real‑world driving and simulation. As a result, WRD 3.0 delivers strong scenario generalization and a self‑optimizing learning capability that continuously improves performance as mileage accumulates.Refined through extensive real‑world validation, WRD 3.0 achieves holistic perception and planning in dense, highly complex traffic environments, while maintaining stable, efficient, and safe driving behavior in unpredictable scenarios, including urban roads, street markets, and mixed pedestrian‑vehicle roads.WRD 3.0 goes beyond algorithmic capability to deliver a mass-production-ready engineering system. Designed around safety, stability, and consistency, WeRide has implemented deep engineering optimizations across computing platform adaptation, system architecture design, and system redundancy. Through robust software‑hardware decoupling, WRD 3.0 delivers consistent production‑level functionality and user experience across diverse configurations, including pure‑vision ...
