"The three companies announced plans Thursday to launch a commercial robotaxi service in Europe, starting in Zagreb, Croatia. Pony.ai will supply the autonomous driving system and a robotaxi called the Arcfox Alpha T5 that was developed with Chinese automaker BAIC."
"Verne started in 2019 as a project called Project 3 Mobility (or P3) within Rimac Group, a growing ecosystem of companies that includes hypercar maker Rimac Bugatti, Rimac Energy, and Rimac Technology."
"Rimac's vision has always been for Verne to operate an urban robotaxi service with purpose-built two-seater electric vehicles. That might sound like an odd mission for the person behind the Nevera, an electric hypercar that starts around $2.2 million."
Rimac Group, founded by Mate Rimac, is launching a commercial robotaxi service in Zagreb through a partnership with Uber and Pony.ai. Pony.ai will provide the autonomous driving system and the Arcfox Alpha T5 robotaxi, while Verne will operate the fleet. Uber will leverage its ride-hailing network and invest in Verne for future expansion. Verne, which started as Project 3 Mobility in 2019, aims to operate urban robotaxi services with specialized two-seater electric vehicles, reflecting Rimac's vision for autonomous technology.
