Tony Han, founder and CEO of WeRide, discussed the company's global operations and financial performance in recent media appearances. On the Autonomy Insider Podcast, he described WeRide's expansion across more than 60 cities in 13 countries, including partnerships with Uber and local collaborators, and emphasized the importance of reliability in autonomous driving, stating that "hallucination in digital AI may be entertaining but it is fatal in physical AI." He also proposed a "qualification process" for autonomous driving companies, arguing that systems should be proven in mass-produced vehicles rather than demos. In a CNBC interview following Q2 2026 earnings, Han reported quarterly revenue of $34.2 million, an 82.2% year-over-year increase, and a record gross margin of 37.5%. He credited strategic partnerships with Yutong, Bosch, and Uber for WeRide's growth and highlighted technological innovations, including the WeRide GENESIS simulation model and the WITT Physical AI Cognitive Foundation Model, which he said reduces token costs by up to 98%. Han also expressed confidence in the safety of WeRide's robotaxis, inviting skeptics to ride in cities like Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Madrid, or San Francisco.
