Chinese robotaxi company Pony AI Inc. and Uber Technologies Inc. have begun testing driverless cars in Zagreb, Croatia, expanding their partnership beyond the Middle East and into Europe.
The companies are preparing for a launch “soon” with locally based startup Verne, which will own and operate a fleet of BAIC Motor Corp.-manufactured Arcfox Alpha T5 robotaxis, equipped with Pony AI’s self-driving technology, according to a joint statement on Thursday. The vehicles will first be offered on Verne’s app and eventually be available to book on Uber’s service.
