Pony AI Pioneers Fully Driverless Robotaxi Services in Shenzhen

Shenzhen, China - In a landmark move for autonomous mobility, Pony AI Inc. has secured the first-ever license to operate fully driverless commercial robotaxi services in Shenzhen's Nanshan District. This development marks a significant milestone in the company's journey towards revolutionizing urban transport.

James Peng, co-founder and CEO of Pony AI, highlighted the importance of this achievement. "This launch is not just about technology; it's about building public trust and demonstrating the viability of driverless vehicles in one of China's most dynamic urban landscapes," Peng remarked. The expansion into Nanshan District is seen as a critical step in Pony AI's strategy to scale its services across Shenzhen, a key tech and transportation hub.

Adding to its momentum, Pony AI recently made headlines with a successful $260 million raise during its U.S. IPO in November, underscoring the growing investor confidence in autonomous driving technologies.
