  "summary": "Chinese autonomous driving company Pony.ai is set to bring 200 Level 4 self-driving taxis to Korea by 2028, in partnership with local mobility firm FutureLink. The two companies signed a strategic agreement in Seoul to introduce Pony.ai’s seventh-generation robotaxis to the Korean market, starting with 10 vehicles for domestic certification and adding 190 more after certification. The robotaxi service is initially planned to launch in Seoul’s autonomous driving pilot zone in Gangnam before expanding to the wider Seoul metropolitan area and other major cities. FutureLink will handle regulatory certification, market entry, vehicle and service operations, data management, and localization, while Pony.ai will provide its autonomous driving vehicles and technology.",
