"The first Pony.ai bZ4X robotaxi, made in partnership with Toyota, has just rolled off the production line and is ready to be deployed. It's the first of many, if the companies stick to their plan, which is to produce more than 1,000 bZ4X robotaxis this year. The bZ4X is one of the three autonomous vehicle models Pony.ai intends to use for commercial services in Tier 1 Chinese cities, including Beijing and Shanghai."
"Toyota introduced the new bZ4X last year, and the non-autonomous versions are available for purchase to the public. Pony.ai's version comes equipped with the company's Gen-7 autonomous driving system, which features Bluetooth-based automatic vehicle unlocking and in-cabin voice interaction. It also comes integrated with online music services and braking patterns that can help minimize motion sickness for passengers. Pony.ai was founded in 2016 and has been testing and operating self-driving vehicles since then."
Pony.ai's first Toyota bZ4X robotaxi has rolled off the production line and is ready for deployment. The company plans to produce more than 1,000 bZ4X robotaxis this year and use the bZ4X as one of three autonomous vehicle models for commercial services in Tier 1 Chinese cities including Beijing and Shanghai. The bZ4X units will be gradually integrated into Pony.ai's existing ride-hailing fleet as the other two models already operate commercially. Pony.ai equips the bZ4X with its Gen-7 autonomous driving system, Bluetooth unlocking, in-cabin voice interaction, online music services, and motion-sickness reducing braking patterns. Pony.ai aims to operate 3,000 vehicles by the end of 2026.
