Pony AI Inc. and Uber Technologies, Inc. announced a strategic partnership on May 6, 2025, to deploy Pony AI’s Robotaxis onto the Uber platform. This collaboration is expected to first launch in a key market in the Middle East later this year, with plans to scale deployments to additional international markets in the future.

Under the terms of the partnership, riders requesting a qualifying trip on the Uber app may be presented with the option to have their journey fulfilled by a Pony AI autonomous vehicle. During the initial pilot phase, these vehicles will operate with a safety operator onboard, transitioning to fully autonomous commercial launch subsequently.

This partnership is a key step in Pony AI’s global expansion strategy, leveraging its seventh-generation autonomous driving system which facilitates mass production of Robotaxis on a more scalable and cost-effective basis. The collaboration aims to accelerate the commercialization of driverless services by combining Pony AI's autonomous systems with Uber's ride-hailing platform.
