💬 "Hallucination in digital AI may be entertaining, but it is fatal in Physical AI."

Join Tony Han, Founder and CEO of WeRide, as he sits down with Daniel Abreu Marques on the Autonomy Insiders podcast for a wide-ranging conversation on autonomous driving, global deployment, and the future of Physical AI.

Tony shares his journey from tenured professor to CEO, why reliability remains the defining challenge of Physical AI, and his exclusive perspective on the industry's L2 vs. L4 debate, including a proposed "qualification process" for autonomous driving companies.

🌍 As WeRide expands to 60+ cities across 13 countries, the discussion also explores the growing role of Robotaxis and Robobuses in Europe and the Middle East, as well as WeRide's commitment to local partnerships and local hiring to create value for the communities it serves. These partnerships also help WeRide adapt to local market needs while supporting its asset-light approach to global expansion. 💪
