WeRide Robotaxis in Abu Dhabi The permit, granted on October 31, 2025, authorizes WeRide’s Robotaxis to operate commercially without an on-board safety driver. Commercial operations will start on the Uber and TXAI platforms in Abu Dhabi, with further details to be communicated soon. WeRide’s permit application received the necessary approvals following a thorough evaluation process. In July 2023, the company was granted the UAE’s first national license for all types of self-driving vehicles, authorizing autonomous testing and operation on public roads across the country, subject to emirate-level approvals. Under the guidance of relevant authorities, WeRide completed a rigorous testing process that led to the approval for fully driverless commercial operations. The clear standards and collaborative approach helped ensure that operations complied with local regulations, with the approval demonstrating the government’s confidence in WeRide’s autonomous driving technology. WeRide has been operating Robotaxis with TXAI in Abu Dhabi since 2021. In December 2024, WeRide and Uber launched their Robotaxi ride-hailing partnership in Abu Dhabi — the largest commercial Robotaxi service outside the U.S. and China. The partnership expanded in July 2025 to cover about half of Abu Dhabi’s core

One of the winning images, “Ethereal Lines” by Romanian pharmacist and photographer Gheorge Popa, was captured using the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra. The photograph showcases the striking and naturally vivid colours of Geamăna Lake in Transylvania, a village overtaken by mining waste nearly half a century ago. “It was a very foggy morning, and I couldn’t fly my drone,” Popa explained. “I had my phone and found these patterns near the shore. I didn’t expect to be a winner, but I’m really happy.” Another Grand Prize winner, “Origin of Skiing” by architect and photographer AC Chen Guanhong, features a young girl from Altay, China. The portrait highlights the region’s heritage as the birthplace of skiing and reflects pride in its cultural traditions. “It’s a great honour to show my work here,” Chen shared. “Using a phone is easier and lighter, and it lets people feel more relaxed in front of the camera.” Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer and XMAGE 100 jury member Liu Heung Shing commended the quality of the submissions, noting: “You can see the trust established between photographer and subject. The standard of mobile photography has advanced remarkably.” The 2025 HUAWEI XMAGE Awards exhibition at Paris Photo celebrates global creativity and the evolution of mobile imaging technology, demonstrating how photography continues to connect people and stories around the world.

Valle Venia presents new song: I’ve cleared up it all – LPS feat.Lara Leave a reply NEUSTADT AN DER WEINSTRAßE, GERMANY – Newsaktuell – 14 November 2025 – With the song “I’ve Cleared Up It All” Lara steps into the spotlight as one of the most fascinating new storytellers on the music scene. I’ve cleared up it all LPS feat Lara/Leo Philipp Schmidt Her voice conveys both the pain of memory and the quiet relief of liberation—delicate yet determined, cinematic yet deeply human. The song unfolds like an awakening, where fragility and strength meet in a single breath, revealing the beauty that remains after the truth has been told. Lara’s delivery captivates the listener, transforming confession into catharsis and silence into sound. The result is a debut that feels both intimate and expansive-an introduction that whispers rather than shouts. Behind this artistry is composer and songwriter Leo Philipp Schmidt, together with producer Hanna Michel of Valle Venia. Hanna Michel Leo Ph. Schmidt LPS Valle Venia Art & Science Their collaboration anchors Lara’s ethereal vocals in a world of lyrical precision and sonic depth. Leo’s compositions serve as emotional architecture, sparing, deliberate, and deeply resonant, while Hanna’s production shapes the atmosphere with cinematic clarity. Together, they create a soundscape in which every note carries intention and every pause has meaning. In “I’ve Cleared Up It All,” every element of its lyrical honesty, minimalist arrangement, and emotional tempo reflects Lara’s ability to transform vulnerability into art. The song embodies Valle Venia’s creative philosophy: a union of feeling, form, and soul.
