Pony.ai and Uber plan to deploy more than 2,000 robotaxis across multiple unnamed European cities, expanding from their existing service in Zagreb, Croatia, while also aiming for broader global deployment including the Middle East. Deployment will require regulatory approvals under the EU's General Safety Regulation and local member state rules.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Robotaxi deployment in Europe is moving from pilot to scaled commercialisation under tightening EU rules, so you must engage local regulators now to unlock city-level operations. Uber and Pony.ai's expansion opens a new market for services and supporting tech tailored to robotaxi fleets.
