Uber and Pony.ai have announced plans to deploy more than 2,000 robotaxis across four European cities using a joint-deployment model that leverages Pony.ai's Level 4 autonomous driving technology, Uber's booking platform, and local fleet operators. This expansion is the largest robotaxi commitment in Europe and aims to test the replicability of a commercial autonomous vehicle operating model across different European regulatory environments.
