ComfortDelGro, Pony.ai kick off robotaxi pilot programme in Guangzhou

The Guangzhou pilot will serve as a testbed for future commercial expansion.

ComfortDelGro has launched a two-year commercial robotaxi pilot programme in Guangzhou, China, in partnership with autonomous driving technology company Pony.ai.

The initiative aims to develop and refine autonomous vehicle (AV) technology whilst strengthening fleet management capabilities for future large-scale deployment.

Pony.ai brings extensive experience in autonomous mobility, having accumulated 40 million kilometres (24.85 million miles) of self-driving operations.

The Guangzhou pilot will serve as a testbed for future commercial expansion, with both companies looking to scale up robotaxi services across China and other international markets.
