Chinese autonomous driving startup WeRide is offering driverless shuttle service at the French open, in collaboration with its strategic investor French carmaker Renault and the French Tennis Federation.

A fleet of autonomous WeRide minibuses are transporting passengers including players and media representatives along a 5-km route, which takes about 12 minutes. The service is available from May 26 to June 9.

Tony Han, WeRide's founder and CEO, said, "Launching the Robobus shuttle service at Roland-Garros marks the first step in our joint effort with Renault Group to promote low-carbon public transportation with autonomous driving.”

The move is also a significant milestone in WeRide's international strategy, marking its official entry into the European market.

To day, WeRide Robobus has a global presence of nearly 30 cities worldwide, as the company's flagship product and a cornerstone of its global expansion.
