WeRide, Uber, and AVOMO have received Spain's first permit to operate Level 4 autonomous passenger vehicles, allowing them to deploy Robotaxi services on public roads under the Spanish Directorate-General for Traffic's ES-AV framework. This regulatory approval enables them to launch commercial Robotaxi operations in Madrid in 2026, establishing a national precedent for autonomous vehicle deployment in Europe.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new opportunity as Spain opens commercial Robotaxi services with L4 autonomy under clear national regulation. Capitalise on this regulatory precedent to build or partner early in this emerging autonomous mobility market.
