Uber Technologies has partnered with Pony.ai and Croatian startup Verne to launch Europe's first commercial robotaxi service, with operations planned in Zagreb. The partnership brings together Uber's ride-hailing platform, Pony.AI's autonomous driving technology and Verne's local fleet management capabilities. The companies plan to expand their service beyond the Croatian capital to other European cities and other markets. Verne will own the fleet and oversee daily operations, while Uber will integrate the service into its global app. The collaboration reflects Uber's broader push into autonomous mobility, with partnerships with nearly two dozen autonomous-vehicle technology firms.
