Uber and Pony AI are teaming up to launch over 2,000 robotaxis across Europe. This is the next step in their collaboration that started in 2025 when Pony robotaxis joined Uber's platform in international markets outside the US, starting in Zagreb, Croatia. The companies have not specified the additional cities they plan to serve, but they did mention expansion to the Middle East.
The partnership aims to leverage Uber's extensive user base and human driver network, alongside Pony's advanced autonomous driving technology. Uber's goals for autonomous vehicles include expanding robotaxis to London, Madrid, Munich, Hong Kong, and various US cities. Both companies have existing partnerships in autonomous vehicle testing and deployment, including with Nvidia, which recently unveiled open-source AI models for self-driving vehicles.
Pony AI currently operates level-4 autonomous robotaxis in four Chinese cities and expects to have a robotaxi fleet exceeding 3,500 vehicles by year-end.
