Built on WeRide&#39;s proprietary one-stage end-to-end intelligent driving algorithm and integrated with Bosch&#39;s automotive-grade domain controller platform and global validation expertise, the one-stage end-to-end intelligent driving solution has begun on-road testing and localization validation in Germany, France, Japan and other international markets. Through these efforts, WeRide continues to accumulate experience across diverse driving scenarios while systematically strengthening its product development and engineering validation capabilities for global markets. <img alt="图1" height="400" src="https://ml.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/ac1396fa-11ac-4fdd-9f9d-c3cb8f3456fa/-1.jpeg" width="600" data-dpi="96" data-caption="A test vehicle on the road in Germany" data-filename="图1.jpeg"></img> A test vehicle on the road in Germany As intelligent driving becomes a critical competitive differentiator for automakers expanding beyond their home markets, the industry&#39;s focus is shifting from single-market optimization to global capability building. Delivering a consistent, safe and comfortable driving experience across different regulatory frameworks, road infrastructures, driving behaviors and environmental conditions is emerging as one of the defining challenges for next-generation intelligent driving systems. <img alt="图2" src="https://ml.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/8fc2c709-528d-4e4c-863f-7bcd351528b1/-2.jpg" data-dpi="96" data-caption="A test vehicle on the road in Japan" data-filename="图2.jpg"></img> A test vehicle on the road in Japan To address this challenge, WeRide is systematically expanding its global engineering and validation capabilities. Together with Bosch, one of the world&#39;s leading automotive suppliers, the company is conducting on-road testing and adaptation programs in key international markets, including Germany, France and Japan. These efforts are helping WeRide accumulate experience across diverse driving environments while building a full-cycle engineering framework covering R&amp;D, testing, validation and commercial deployment. At the same time, WeRide is working closely with multiple automakers to better understand local mobility needs, driving behaviors and customer preferences. By incorporating regional road characteristics, regulatory requirements and driving cultures into product development, the company continues to refine the features and capabilities that deliver the greatest value to users worldwide. <img alt="Photo at IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich" height="450" src="https://ml.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/34cbb9ee-2a28-4edf-8515-4c59ce39b850/-3.jpg" width="600" data-dpi="300" data-caption="Dr. Tony Han, Founder and CEO of WeRide (Left) Mr. Wu Yongqiao, Regional President of Bosch Cross-Domain Computing Solutions China (Right)Photo at IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich" data-filename="图3.jpg"></img> Dr. Tony Han, Founder and CEO of WeRide (Left) Mr. Wu Yongqiao, Regional President of Bosch Cross-Domain Computing Solutions China (Right) at IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich The solution is powered by a unified end-to-end AI architecture that integrates perception, prediction, planning and control within a single model while supporting both driving and parking scenarios. It brings together WeRide&#39;s latest advancements in end-to-end AI models, system-level integration and hardware-software co-optimization. The architecture enables more efficient understanding of complex interactions among vehicles, pedestrians and surrounding infrastructure while reducing cumulative system errors. As a result, the solution delivers stronger scene understanding, broader scenario generalization and enhanced safety redundancy, allowing it to adapt rapidly to diverse driving environments around the world. From Germany&#39;s unrestricted autobahns and France&#39;s dense roundabouts to right-hand-drive markets in Japan and Southeast Asia, as well as the extreme climate conditions of the Middle East, the solution is designed to support scalable deployment across a wide range of global operating environments. <img alt="图4-EN" height="400" src="https://ml.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/3849bf22-9e81-4c34-8235-ec5ecfde2b77/-4-en.jpg" width="600" data-dpi="96" data-caption="Six Consecutive Wins" data-filename="图4-EN.jpg"></img> While expanding its international validation footprint, WeRide&#39;s one-stage end-to-end intelligent driving solution continues to demonstrate strong performance in China&#39;s highly complex traffic conditions.
