About Momenta
Momenta links production-car data to an automated development loop that processes, filters and labels driving recordings. This supplies examples of varied road conditions and unusual situations for training its end-to-end driving models. Its R7 World Model is designed to represent object properties, motion and possible interactions, supporting prediction and planning in situations such as lane selection, narrow roads and construction zones.
The company develops two connected commercial tracks. Mass-production software supports assisted-driving functions integrated into automakers' vehicles, while Scalable Robo addresses autonomous taxi and van systems, with truck applications also under development. The shared data and software toolchain allows experience from vehicle programmes to inform further model development across these applications.

Hesai says WeRide robotaxis went live on Uber in Abu Dhabi in late 2024 and expanded to Dubai, with four Hesai LiDAR sensors serving as each vehicle’s primary long-range LiDAR. Pony.ai’s seventh-generation robotaxi fleet uses four Hesai AT-series LiDARs and was scheduled to begin Uber operations in the Middle East, while Momenta was preparing an initial European launch. The announcement shows Hesai-supported robotaxi services moving from pilots toward international commercial deployment across Uber’s Europe and Middle East platform; it covers multiple partner rollouts rather than one new Hesai product launch.
