Uber and Pony. ai to deploy 2,000 robotaxis across Europe
Uber and Pony. ai have announced an expansion of their strategic partnership to deploy more than 2,000 robotaxis across Europe. Building on their initial commercial service in Zagreb, Croatia, the companies plan to expand operations to four additional European cities. The rollout details will be released in phases.
The partnership utilizes a joint-deployment model that divides responsibilities among three core functions: Level 4 autonomous driving technology, a mobility platform, and daily fleet operations. Pony. ai will provide the L4 autonomous driving technology and operational expertise, while Uber will provide its global mobility platform for booking, payments, and customer service. Local partners will be selected in each market to manage day-to-day fleet operations, including maintenance and charging.
Beyond Europe, the companies are also exploring potential deployments in the Middle East. This expansion marks a shift from pilot programs toward large-scale commercial operations in the autonomous vehicle sector.
