Uber and Chinese company Pony.ai are preparing to launch a robotaxi service for Europe, starting in Zagreb, Croatia. The companies are collaborating with Croatian company Verne to provide the service ecosystem and operational framework using Arcfox Alpha T5 vehicles powered by Pony.ai’s Gen-7 autonomous driving system. Testing has begun in Zagreb, with plans to expand to other European cities and markets. Verne will handle regulatory approvals, with Uber investing in the Croatian company. This partnership is part of Uber’s efforts to offer more driverless rides, including recent pilot programs in Tokyo and Las Vegas.
