Beijing (Gasgoo)- Pony.ai was appointed as the official Robotaxi partner for the 2025 Tencent Global Digital Ecosystem Summit in Shenzhen, providing L4 autonomous ride-hailing services for attendees and media representatives during Sept. 16-17.

The company's Robotaxi fleet offers point-to-point connections between key pickup spots, including the Hilton Hotel at Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center and Hall 17 of the venue.

Pony.ai's L4 vehicles are powered by its self-developed Virtual Driver and PonyWorld world model, enabling end-to-end autonomous capabilities such as perception, decision-making, and path planning. The system allows fully automated operations in complex urban scenarios, including stopping and starting, steering, obstacle avoidance, intersection handling, and traffic signal response, ensuring a safe and seamless shuttle experience.

This partnership builds on a strategic cooperation agreement signed between Pony.ai and Tencent Cloud in April 2025. The two companies are jointly advancing L4 autonomous driving technology and Robotaxi commercialization, with collaboration spanning mobility services on WeChat, cloud and data services, mapping, intelligent cockpits, and safety.

Pony.ai already operates 24/7 autonomous ride-hailing services across Shenzhen's Bao'an, Nanshan, and Qianhai districts, covering major hubs such as Bao'an Airport, Shenzhen Bay Port, Window of the World, Overseas Chinese Town, Shenzhen Bay Sports Center Stadium, and OH BAY. In March, Pony.ai obtained Shenzhen Nanshan District's first pilot permit for unmanned commercial operations for intelligent connected vehicle, making it the only company authorized for fully driverless paid Robotaxi services in central Shenzhen.
