In the physical AI era, autonomous driving is evolving from single vehicle intelligence toward an intelligent flywheel connecting data, models, vehicles, and operations. As the global leader in autonomous driving, WeRide continues to advance physical AI toward its next stage of commercialization. In China, we continue to strengthen our operational capabilities. With Beijing and Guangzhou as our core operating hubs, our fully driverless robot taxi coverage continues to expand. Through deployment in complex urban environments and real-world operating scenarios, we continue to enhance system robustness, safety, and operational efficiency. To date, WeRide's autonomous driving footprint has expanded to over 60 cities across 13 countries worldwide. Internationally, WeRide is accelerating expansion across Europe and the Middle East through our asset-light model. In the Middle East, we have achieved fully driverless robot taxi operations in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, while continuing to expand our operations in Riyadh. This proven robotaxi commercialization model is now expanding from the Middle East to Europe. Following our rollout in Slovakia, WeRide is rapidly scaling across Europe. In June, we announced new robotaxi deployments in Madrid and Zurich. In August, we announced plans to deploy Denmark's first autonomous shared mobility services. Within two months, we advanced public commercial operations across three countries, with Denmark representing our sixth European market. At the same time, we are accelerating expansion into right-hand drive markets. In April, we partner with Grab to launch Singapore's first public autonomous driving mobility service. In June, we partnered with Geely, Verizon, and Quincheng Bus to advance right-hand drive robo-taxi commercialization with Hong Kong as the starting point. This marks a major step toward WeRide's robo-taxi mass production and operational capabilities across both left-hand drive and right-hand drive markets. Beyond RoboTaxi, our RoboBus business continues to advance commercialization in Europe with operational progress across France, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland, and other markets. Our L2++ and L3 solutions are scaling rapidly. To date, our single-stage end-to-end platform, RRD 3.0, has won mass production commitments across more than 30 vehicle models, with active road testing and market validation underway in key global markets including Germany, France, and Japan. Behind these commercial achievements is our continuously evolving physical AI technology foundation. We introduce the We Ride Wit, the physical AI cognitive foundation model, pioneering the concept of the minimum physical fact unit and building a new AI understanding framework centered on physical facts. Combined with the Genesis World Model, it connects high-quality real-world driving data, model training, and simulation validation to empower L2++ and L4, accelerating large-scale autonomous driving deployment. Operations validate technology. Technology empowers products. Products drive commercialization. WeRide continues to advance along this intelligent flywheel path, accelerating the global commercialization of autonomous driving.
Now, I would like to pass the floor to the company's founder, chairman and CEO, Dr. Tony Han. Please go ahead, sir.
