"Uber and Pony.ai are gearing up to launch a robotaxi service for Europe, starting with Zagreb in Croatia. The companies are working with Croatian company Verne, which will provide the service ecosystem and operational framework for the service."
"Initially, the autonomous rides will be offered on Verne's app, but they will eventually be available through Uber. In their announcement, the companies said they have already started on-road testing in Zagreb, where the service will be available 'soon.'"
"Verne will be in charge of securing regulatory approval for the rollouts, while Uber has agreed to invest in the Croatian company. This is but one of Uber's partnerships centering around its efforts to offer more and more driverless rides to its passengers."
Uber and Pony.ai are set to launch a robotaxi service in Zagreb, Croatia, utilizing Arcfox Alpha T5 vehicles powered by Pony.ai's Gen-7 autonomous driving system. The service will initially be available through Verne's app, with future integration into Uber's platform. On-road testing has commenced, and there are plans to expand to other European cities. Verne will handle regulatory approvals, while Uber will invest in the Croatian company. This initiative is part of Uber's broader strategy to enhance driverless ride offerings globally.
