What Happened

At the Tianjin event of the Second China Intelligent Driving Competition, the Chery Exeed Sterra ES equipped with WeRide Driving (WRD 3.0), co-developed by WeRide and Bosch, secured first place. This victory gives WeRide the first and only six-win streak in the competition's history, solidifying the industry-leading position of WRD 3.0 in consistent full-scene performance.

Key rule upgrades in Tianjin round
  • P2P NOA (Parking-to-Parking Navigation on ADAS) was included in scoring for the first time.
  • Evaluations covered automatic parking exit, gate passage, complex public road navigation, and automatic parking.
  • Any parking failure or human takeover (including accelerator operation) results in score deductions.
WRD 3.0 vs modular driving solutions
WRD 3.0 (end-to-end)
One-stage end-to-end large model covering both driving and parking, unified modeling and decision-making.
Modular/two-stage solutions
Data fragmentation and inconsistent decision-making strategies across scenarios.

Why this matters

This win demonstrates the reliability of WeRide's end-to-end large model approach over modular systems, supporting its push for large-scale commercial deployment across more than 30 vehicle types.

NOA
Navigation on ADAS, a feature that provides autonomous driving on highways and urban roads.
P2P NOA
Parking-to-Parking Navigation on ADAS, enabling autonomous driving from parking exit to parking entry.
End-to-end large model
