TIANJIN, China – June 14, 2026 — At the Tianjin event of the Second China Intelligent Driving Competition hosted by D1EV.COM, a leading electric and intelligent vehicle media platform, the Chery Exeed Sterra ES equipped with WeRide Driving (WRD 3.0), co-developed by WeRide and Bosch, took first place with its stable and efficient driving performance throughout the competition. This landmark victory secures the first and only six-win streak in the history of the competition, further solidifies WRD 3.0's industry-leading position in consistent full-scene performance.

Unlike previous sessions, the rules of Tianjin round introduced pivotal upgrades. For the first time, P2P NOA(Parking-to-Parking Navigation on ADAS) was incorporated into the scoring system, alongside evaluations of vehicles' full-journey driving performance in automatic parking exit, gate passage, complex public road navigation and automatic parking. Meanwhile, any parking failure or human takeover (including accelerator operation) results in score deductions. With tightened rules, the competition has evolved from a single evaluation of urban driving performance into a comprehensive evaluation of the overall continuity, stability and reliability of complete intelligent driving systems.

Under the high-intensity assessment, WRD3.0 demonstrated outstanding systematic advantages with sustained top-tier performance across diverse driving scenarios. Unlike modular and two-stage driving solutions that suffer from data fragmentation and inconsistent decision-making strategies, WRD3.0 adopts a one-stage end-to-end large model to cover both driving and parking scenarios, enabling unified modeling and decision-making across diverse parking spaces. The system generates more precise and stable driving trajectories in low-speed parking scenarios. It also proficiently handles complex interactions with other vehicles, VRUs and various traffic participants in high-speed and intricate urban road conditions.

2026 serves as a critical year for the large-scale commercial deployment of WRD 3.0. Hitherto, WRD 3.0 has secured mass-production design appointments for more than 30 vehicle types from Chery Automobile and GAC Group, with continuous expansion to more OEM customers and computing platforms.

Moving forward, WeRide will continue to prioritize user experience. The company is committed to advance the technological iteration and deployment of WRD3.0, delivering user-friendly, reassuring and reliable advanced driving assistance experiences for consumers worldwide.
