Uber and Pony.ai plan to bring 2,000 robotaxis to Europe | TechCrunch

中国自动驾驶公司 Pony.ai 与 Uber 计划将 2,000 辆机器人出租车投放至欧洲四个城市，作为双方扩大的合作的一部分。Uber 已与超过 30 家自动驾驶公司合作，Pony.ai 此前已在四个中国城市运营并锁定当地交通部门合作以拓展欧洲及中东市场。此次合作明确了 Pony.ai 的“联合部署模式”，由该公司提供自动驾驶技术、Uber 提供叫车平台，而车队管理（维护、清洁、充电）可由本地供应商处理，车队所有权视市场而定。双方此前于 2025 年 5 月聚焦中东合作，今年早些时候宣布与克罗地亚 Zagreb 的 Verne 公司合作推出商业机器人出租车服务，但此次未公布具体部署时间表或城市名单，细节将分阶段披露。
