Uber and Pony.ai expand their partnership to bring more than 2,000 robotaxis to European streets. Multiple outlets report the plan builds on an existing service in Zagreb, and targets additional cities as the companies move to scale robotaxi operations.
PR Newswire describes the expansion as adding four more European cities beyond Zagreb. TechCrunch similarly says the rollout grows from the initial Zagreb market to four additional cities. Bloomberg frames the move as part of a broader competitive effort to commercialize autonomous mobility in Europe. The Next Web adds that the arrangement routes the service through Uber’s app and involves local fleet owners.
Quartz also reports plans to extend the deployment beyond Zagreb to four additional European cities, and notes that deployment in the Middle East is planned. Across coverage, outlets align on the headline figures and the Zagreb-to-multi-city expansion, while differing mainly in emphasis—such as local operators, distribution through Uber, and mentions of broader regional plans.
