WAIC is set bring more than vehicles. In fact WeRide is hinting on something exciting they will unveil at the conference. Could WeRide's next product be energy?
One thought keeps coming back as I review WeRide's recent hiring. What if the next major product isn't another Robotaxi? What if it's the infrastructure that keeps 1000's of Robotaxis moving?
Today, WeRide already develops the intelligence that decides which vehicle should pick up which passenger. Recent hiring shows growing investment in Dispatch, Routing, Fleet Orchestration, ETA prediction and PUDO optimization.
At the same time, a separate set of job openings is building capabilities around battery energy storage systems (BESS), zero-carbon parks, strategic energy partnerships, overseas energy sales and large-scale project delivery.
Those appear to be 2 separate initiatives today. But they solve the same problem.
