GUANGZHOU, China and SAN FRANCISCO – Pony AI Inc. (Nasdaq: PONY) and Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER), have announced a strategic partnership to deploy Pony.ai’s Robotaxis onto the Uber platform.
The partnership is expected to first launch in a key market in the Middle East later this year, with a goal of scaling deployments to additional international markets in the future. When a rider requests a qualifying ride on the Uber app, they may be presented with the option to have their trip fulfilled by a Pony.ai autonomous vehicle. During the initial pilot phase, these vehicles will have a safety operator onboard, until the companies’ fully autonomous commercial launch.
This collaboration marks a key step in Pony.ai’s global expansion strategy, leveraging its established ecosystem to showcase technological readiness. Pony.ai’s seventh-generation autonomous driving system facilitates the mass production of Robotaxis on a more scalable and cost-effective basis.
Key Highlights:
- Pony.ai and Uber are partnering to deploy Pony.ai's Robotaxis on the Uber platform.
- The initial launch is planned for a key market in the Middle East, with future expansion to other international markets.
- The pilot phase will include a safety operator in the vehicle.
Dr. James Peng, Co-founder and CEO of Pony.ai, stated that the partnership with Uber accelerates their shared mission to make autonomous mobility a real, everyday experience. Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber, added that this partnership is a meaningful step towards introducing the benefits of autonomous mobility to the world.
