BEIJING — U.S. ride-hailing giant Uber is ramping up its global robotaxi coverage with operator Pony.ai.
The companies plan to deploy 2,000 of Pony.ai's self-driving taxis across Europe, and expand the robotaxi partnership to the Middle East, they announced Friday.
In late March, Uber and Pony.ai launched a commercial robotaxi service in Croatia's capital Zagreb — which they claim is the first in Europe.
The partnership announced Friday will roll out robotaxis to four other European cities. The companies did not name the cities or share an exact timeframe.
