GUANGZHOU, China, Feb. 21, 2025 — Pony AI Inc. (Nasdaq: PONY), a leading company in the commercialization of autonomous mobility, today announced the launch of its paid robotaxi service. The service will operate from various locations in downtown Guangzhou to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport and Guangzhou South Railway Station. Pony.ai is the first and only company authorized to offer robotaxi services on these heavily trafficked routes.

The introduction of Pony.ai’s robotaxi service aims to provide both residents and tourists with a convenient, efficient, and autonomous transportation option. Customers can easily book a Pony.ai vehicle through the PonyPilot App, with fares comparable to standard taxi rates in Guangzhou. This expansion signifies a major advancement in integrating autonomous driving into Guangzhou’s vibrant urban environment, demonstrating the Company’s technological capabilities in complex city centers.

“This expansion in Guangzhou is a significant step toward making autonomous mobility a routine part of daily life,” said Dr. James Peng, co-founder and CEO of Pony.ai. “By providing autonomous rides from the city center to essential transportation hubs, we are delivering practical services that cater to the needs of travelers and residents alike, reinforcing Pony.ai’s position as a global leader in the large-scale commercialization of autonomous mobility.”

Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport and Guangzhou South Railway Station are among China’s busiest transportation hubs. Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport has been the nation’s leader in passenger volume for the past four years since 2020, while Guangzhou South Railway Station saw over 170 million passengers in 2024, making it the country’s busiest high-speed rail hub.

Pony.ai has already launched paid robotaxi services to and from Beijing Daxing International Airport and Beijing South Railway Station. The simultaneous expansion in Guangzhou’s city center and its key transit hubs marks another milestone in the Company’s autonomous mobility commercialization efforts.
