Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On May 6, Pony.ai and Uber announced a strategic partnership under which Pony.ai's Robotaxi services and fleet will be integrated into the Uber platform in the second half of this year, marking a significant step toward the commercial deployment of autonomous driving technology.

The collaboration will initially be launched in the Middle East, with plans to gradually expand into additional international markets. Once the service goes live, Uber users will be able to select Pony.ai's Robotaxi vehicles directly through the Uber app when booking rides.

This partnership represents a key milestone in Pony.ai's "in China, for global" strategy, leveraging the company's mature L4 autonomous driving ecosystem to demonstrate its strong commercial capabilities in the global mobility market.

At the AUTO SHANGHAI 2025 in April, Pony.ai unveiled its seventh-generation automotive-grade autonomous driving system, which enables 100% mass production of Robotaxi vehicles to automotive standards—delivering major advances in scale expansion and cost efficiency.
