Uber Technologies, Pony*ai and Verne have announced a partnership to launch Europe’s first commercial robotaxi service, starting in Zagreb.
The service will combine Pony*ai’s autonomous driving technology, Uber’s ride-hailing platform and Verne’s operational framework, with initial on-road testing already underway and preparations for paid rides in progress.
The partners aim to scale the service to thousands of robotaxis over the coming years, expanding to additional European cities and potentially other global markets.
The collaboration marks a significant step toward commercializing autonomous mobility in Europe, as companies move from pilot programs to fully operational ride-hailing services.
