Pony.ai is partnering with FutureLink to deploy 200 Level 4 self-driving taxis in South Korea by 2028, starting with an initial 10 vehicles for domestic certification in Seoul and planning wider expansion afterwards. The deployment integrates Pony.ai’s seventh-generation autonomous driving tech into BAIC Group vehicles, aiming to significantly reduce production costs and expand Chinese autonomous driving presence in Korea.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must prepare for new autonomous vehicle competitors entering Seoul with cost-effective, production-integrated robotaxis. This opens a route to partner or compete in Korea’s emerging Level 4 robotaxi market before it scales.
