Pony AI Prepares London Deployment of Cost-Reduced Gen-7 Robotaxis with Uber

Pony AI and Uber announced plans to begin testing the company's seventh-generation robotaxis in London within weeks, expanding the Chinese autonomous vehicle maker's European footprint and establishing direct competition with Uber's existing partner Wayve in the UK capital. The partnership marks Pony AI's entry into London's rapidly developing autonomous ride-hailing market, where multiple robotaxi programs are now undergoing trials following regulatory approval from the UK's Automated Passenger Services framework.
