Pony AI and Uber have launched driverless robotaxi testing in Zagreb, Croatia, marking their first European expansion beyond prior Middle East operations. The partnership includes Croatian startup Verne, which will own and operate a fleet of BAIC Arcfox Alpha T5 vehicles equipped with Pony AI’s autonomous technology. Services will initially launch on Verne’s app before integrating with Uber’s platform, though no exact timeline was provided beyond an imminent rollout. This move follows public road testing already underway in Zagreb, signaling regulatory approval and infrastructure readiness for autonomous mobility in the region. The collaboration aims to accelerate commercial robotaxi adoption in Europe, leveraging Pony AI’s tech and Uber’s global ride-hailing network.
