Shanghai's Pudong pilots robotaxi service
Robotaxi service is available within a designated area in Shanghai's Pudong New Area starting Aug 1, according to autonomous mobility service provider Pony AI Inc.
Pony AI, in partnership with Jin Jiang International Holdings Co Ltd's taxi service arm, has launched a regular robotaxi service open to the public in Shanghai's Jinqiao and Huamu areas. Operating Monday to Friday from 7:30 am to 9:30 pm, users can hail a driverless ride via Pony AI's mobile app or ride-hailing mini-program.
The routes cover key destinations such as the Pudong New Area government, Lalaport shopping mall, Century Park, and Pudong Football Stadium metro station—linking workplaces, residential areas, and recreational spots to seamlessly integrate autonomous driving into residents' daily lives.
Pony AI is among the first batch of licensed companies to launch a driverless commercial robotaxi service during the 2025 World AI Conference & High-level Meeting on Global AI Governance in late July.
