At the Wuhu round of the Second China Urban Intelligent Driving Competition hosted by D1EV, the Chery Exeed Sterra ET, equipped with the one‑stage end‑to‑end advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) solution jointly developed by WeRide and Bosch, secured first place by over 10 points. Horizon Robotics and XPeng took second and third place. With this result, WeRide Driving (WRD 3.0) has achieved four consecutive wins.
WRD 3.0 is built around rapid technological iteration, using WeRide’s Genesis simulation model and large-scale L4 driverless road data to replicate complex scenarios at scale. Continuous training, validation and optimization create a closed loop between real-world driving and simulation, enabling strong scenario generalization and ongoing performance improvement as mileage increases.
Refined through extensive real‑world validation, WRD 3.0 reportedly achieves holistic perception and planning in dense, highly complex traffic environments, while maintaining stable, efficient and safe driving behavior in unpredictable scenarios, including urban roads, street markets and mixed pedestrian‑vehicle roads.
WeRide says it has designed the system around safety, stability and consistency, and implemented deep engineering optimizations across computing platform adaptation, system architecture design and system redundancy. Through robust software‑hardware decoupling, WRD 3.0 reportedly delivers consistent production‑level functionality and user experience across diverse configurations, including pure‑vision or multisensor fusion, HD‑map‑based or map‑free solutions and different onboard computing power tiers.
WRD 3.0 is now in mass production across multiple vehicle models, including the Chery Exeed Sterra ES and ET, as well as the GAC Aion N60. The recently launched Chery Exeed EX7 is also equipped with WRD 3.0.
