"Verne, a subsidiary of Rimac Technology, has partnered with ride-hailing giant Uber and China's Pony.ai to deploy the first commercial driverless taxis in Europe. The three companies said that development work is already underway, including public-road validation, and that the commercial service will be available soon in Croatia's capital city."
"The first vehicle to hit the road in Zagreb is the Chinese-made Arcfox Alpha T5, an electric crossover with up to 273 miles of WLTP range running Pony.ai's seventh-generation autonomous driving system."
"Uber will integrate the robotaxis into its global ride-hailing network, so riders will need to use the Uber app to get an autonomous robotaxi in Croatia."
Verne, a subsidiary of Rimac Technology, has partnered with Pony.ai and Uber to launch Europe's first commercial driverless taxis in Croatia. The initial vehicle will be the Arcfox Alpha T5, an electric crossover with a range of 273 miles. Development is underway, including public-road validation, with plans to expand the service to more European cities. Uber will integrate these robotaxis into its ride-hailing network, requiring users to book through the Uber app. The timeline for a safety monitor in the vehicles remains uncertain.
