PONY AI Inc. Expands
Collaboration with Uber to Deploy Over 2,000 Robotaxis Across Five Cities in Europe
Guangzhou, China, August
14, 2026 -- Pony AI Inc. (“Pony.ai” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PONY; HKEX: 2026), a global leader in achieving
large-scale mass production and commercialization of autonomous driving technology, today announced an expanded collaboration with Uber
Technologies, Inc. (“Uber”) to deploy more than 2,000 Robotaxis across Europe. The partnership will expand from the existing
commercial service in Zagreb, coming soon to the Uber platform, to four additional cities in Europe. The expanded partnership also includes
plans to deploy Robotaxis in the Middle East.
The expanded partnership
gives the Company’s joint deployment model a clearer path to commercial scale. The model brings together three core functions required
to operate Robotaxi services at scale: Level 4 ("L4") autonomous driving technology, a leading mobility platform, and day-to-day
fleet operations. It allows technology, platform and fleet partners to work together in the same market, while individual partners may
also take on more than one role. Vehicle funding and ownership can sit with different partners depending on the market.
Under the expanded
partnership, the Company will provide its L4 autonomous driving technology, rider experience and operational expertise developed through
multiple large-scale Robotaxi deployments in China. Uber will provide customer access through its leading global mobility platform, including
booking, payment and customer service capabilities, alongside its growing network of human drivers. Day-to-day fleet operations may
be carried out by established local fleet partners selected for each market.
The Company's collaboration
with Uber dates back to May 2025, when both parties first announced plans to bring the Company's Robotaxis onto the Uber platform in
international markets. In 2026, the companies worked with Croatian mobility company Verne to launch Europe’s first commercial Robotaxi
service in Zagreb, with Verne serving as the local fleet owner and operator. The Company believes that the expanded partnership with
Uber marks a further evolution of its growth strategy, complementing continued expansion into new markets with fleet deployments at regional
scale.
