WeRide, Uber, and AVOMO have secured Spain's first Level 4 autonomous passenger vehicle operation license, enabling deployment and future commercial Robotaxi services in Madrid starting in 2026. This marks the first EU national-level Level 4 license for WeRide, with plans to expand to 15 cities globally by 2030.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility, and 2 sources have reported it between 11 Sep 2026 and 12 Sep 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to fix your early commercial strategy for driverless taxi services. Madrid just opened its streets to regulatory proof of Level 4 autonomy, making it a live market now accessible through Uber’s platform.
