Pony AI Inc. announced on May 26, 2025, that it has entered a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) to deploy its advanced robotaxi fleet in the region. This collaboration aligns with Dubai's 2030 Smart City Vision, which aims to transform 25% of all journeys in the city into autonomous trips by 2030.
The partnership outlines a multi-phase rollout, with initial supervised trials of Pony AI's autonomous driving technology set to launch in 2025. This will pave the way for fully driverless operations to commence in 2026, marking a significant step in integrating smart transport solutions into Dubai's urban mobility network.
Pony AI plans to start mass production and deployment of its seventh-generation robotaxis in the second half of 2025, aiming to ramp up its global robotaxi fleet to thousands of vehicles within the next two years. The Gen-7 AD kit hardware achieves a 70% BOM cost reduction, and the company has secured robotaxi testing permits across four major markets, including the United States, China, South Korea, and Luxembourg.
