👏 Thrilled to share that Pony.ai has been named “Autonomous Vehicle Solution of the Year” at the AutoTech Breakthrough Awards — a recognition of our industry-leading seventh-generation (Gen-7) autonomous driving technology. Built on years of real-world operation and continuous iteration, the Gen-7 platform marks a major leap forward in safety, intelligence, and scalability. It delivers significant cost-efficiency improvements and integrates seamlessly with mass-production vehicle platforms, achieving automotive-grade reliability and readiness for large-scale deployment. In 2025, Pony.ai has made strong progress in mass production and commercialization. Hundreds of Gen-7-powered robotaxis have already rolled off the production line and are being deployed across major Chinese cities — keeping us well on track to expand our fleet to 1,000 vehicles by year-end. With a clear vision of “autonomous mobility everywhere,” Pony.ai continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible — combining cutting-edge technology with ecosystem partnerships to deliver safe, efficient, and accessible autonomous driving for all.

🚀 Pony.ai partners with Stellantis to advance robotaxi development in Europe! We’re excited to announce a new collaboration with Stellantis, one of the world’s leading automakers, to jointly develop and test Level 4 autonomous vehicles across Europe. Through this partnership, we’ll integrate Pony.ai’s autonomous driving technology with Stellantis’ AV-Ready Platform—starting with battery-electric medium-size vans, ideal for urban robotaxi applications. Initial testing will begin in Luxembourg, paving the way for scalable, safe, and efficient autonomous mobility solutions across Europe. 🤝 Together, we’re building the foundation for the next generation of urban mobility—smart, sustainable, and autonomous.

🚧 Construction zones are the ultimate real-world test for autonomous driving—chaotic, dynamic, ever-changing. Pony.ai rises to the challenge. 🚖 Our robotaxi detects work zones early and generates safe, drivable paths in real time—without relying on HD maps. In constrained spaces, it executes lane changes and vehicle control with stability; while remaining compliant, it performs measured yielding to improve intersection throughput and overall safety margins. 🌉 Day or night, urban streets or highways, rain or shine—we turn challenge into confidence, making every trip safer, more reliable, and truly scalable. #Robotaxi #AutonomousDriving #SmartMobility #SafetyFirst

Tried a fully driverless car in Shenzhen’s Qianhai district last week. It was a real-world look at where mobility is headed. ✅ Very safe feeling: The car handled pedestrians and traffic jams with clear caution. ✅ Predictable driving: It followed rules carefully, like a very defensive driver. ⚙️ Smoothness: The ride felt a bit like that of a new driver – safe but not yet perfectly smooth. It’s clear the tech is making real progress here in China. 🇨🇳 The next step will be making it feel more natural while keeping it just as safe.

Earlier this year, our Founder and CEO, James Peng, sat down with TIME Magazine for an in-depth interview covering a wide range of topics, including our journey toward making autonomous mobility a global reality. As a leader recognized on the 2025 TIME100 AI list, James highlighted how our 7th-generation robotaxi is a true game-changer—achieving a 70% reduction in ADK BOM cost and unlocking scalable deployment. This milestone marks a pivotal step toward mass production, large-scale deployment, and global expansion. Our ambition is to bring this technology to the world and harness AI to create lasting positive impact for society. The conversation also explored our unique AI training methods, perspectives on regulatory landscapes in both the U.S. and China, and how we are navigating today’s global tech environment. It was an excellent opportunity to share our vision for the road ahead.

On September 24, during the panel "Steering the Future: Dubai's Path to Autonomous Taxi Deployment", our VP of Strategy & Business Development, Ann Shi, shared Pony.ai's vision for scaling autonomous mobility worldwide and the power of collaboration. Here are key takeaways from the discussion: 🚖 Collaboration Drives Scalability: At Pony.ai, we specialize in building the industry's most advanced virtual driver and robotaxi platform. But scaling autonomous mobility requires an ecosystem approach. In China, we're already operating public-facing, driverless commercial services in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou. As we expand to thousands of vehicles, partnerships with super-apps like Alipay, WeChat, and AMap — as well as leading ride-hailing and taxi companies — enable seamless access for a wide pool of users. Beyond technology, collaboration with regulators and like-minded local business partners lays the foundation for sustainable growth, as seen in our partnerships in UAE, Qatar and Singapore. 🌍 From Concept to Reality: Bridging the Gap: While technological advancement continues at a rapid pace, the real challenge lies in transitioning from proof-of-concept to large-scale deployment. Success hinges on long-term regulatory support, strategic partnerships, and earning public trust. Pony.ai is committed to working closely with regulators, industry stakeholders, and local communities to ensure AVs integrate safely and efficiently into people's daily life. ⚡ Regulatory Synergy Unlocks Potential: Our experience with the RTA in Dubai exemplifies how a strategic public-private collaboration can accelerate progress. By incorporating industry feedback into policy-making, regulators can create an enabling environment for innovation. One area with immediate potential? Streamlining approval processes for different vehicle models using the same technologies, reducing duplication works in approval and accelerating deployment. As Pony.ai continues to shape the future of autonomous mobility, we remain committed to partnering globally to bring safe, scalable, and sustainable transportation solutions to cities worldwide. #Ponyai #AutonomousDriving #SelfDrivingTechnology #Robotaxi #Innovation #SmartMobility #Collaboration #FutureOfTransport

We are thrilled to share that Pony.ai has been granted permit by Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) to conduct autonomous driving trials on the emirate’s roads. With the new testing permit, Pony.ai has begun pilot testing in certain areas. The service is scheduled to be launched commercially without a driver in 2026. The long-term objective is to integrate autonomous ride-hailing services into Dubai's public transport network, supporting the city's broader ambitions to enhance road safety, improve quality of life, and deliver more efficient and sustainable mobility options for residents and visitors. Dr. James Peng, Founder and CEO of Pony.ai, stated, "Dubai's robust transport infrastructure, supportive policy environment, and public acceptance of emerging technologies give us confidence in promoting the large-scale adoption of autonomous driving technology. Building on our collaboration with local partners and regulators, we are committed to accelerating the deployment of our robotaxi services in Dubai and across the broader Middle East market."
