Launch Details
Uber is teaming up with China's Pony.ai and Croatia's Verne to introduce what it calls Europe's first commercially available robotaxi service. Testing is underway in Zagreb, Croatia, where Verne is based, with vehicles set to join Uber's ridehail network for customers shortly.
Strategic Move
This partnership represents Uber's latest effort to protect against the financial risks of robotaxis displacing its core ridehail operations. The company has formed alliances with numerous autonomous vehicle developers in the past year to demonstrate to investors its ability to adapt to the shift.
