- Pony AI plans to deploy more than 2,000 robotaxis across Europe in partnership with Uber Technologies, marking a continent-wide fleet commitment rather than incremental city launches.
- The European expansion follows Zagreb and will add four more cities, with a later Middle East rollout also on the roadmap.
Why it matters: By pairing with Uber, Pony AI leverages an existing ride-hail platform and rider base instead of building its own demand side, tying a 2,000-vehicle European fleet directly to a partner's distribution — a model that compresses the path from single-city pilots to multi-country commercial scale across four new European cities plus Zagreb.
