"Verne has launched what it is calling Europe's first commercial robotaxi service in Zagreb, Croatia. From 8 April, members of the public can book and pay for autonomous rides through the Verne app."
"The vehicles in service are Arcfox Alpha T5 robotaxis equipped with Pony.ai's seventh-generation autonomous driving system. They operate autonomously, but trained safety operators are onboard during this early phase of the rollout."
"Under the partnership structure, Pony.ai provides the autonomous driving technology; Verne owns the fleet and manages operations on the ground, including regulatory approvals; and Uber integrates the service into its ride-hailing platform."
Verne, an autonomous mobility company from Croatia, launched Europe's first commercial robotaxi service in Zagreb on April 8. The service allows public bookings via the Verne app. The robotaxis, equipped with Pony.ai's autonomous driving system, currently have safety operators onboard. Verne partners with Pony.ai and Uber, with plans to transition to fully driverless operations pending regulatory approvals. This launch is notable as it occurs in Zagreb, a smaller city compared to other European markets focusing on autonomous mobility.
