Pony.ai delivered an initial batch of more than 100 Gen-7 robotaxis to Chenqi Mobility for deployment on Chenqi’s OnTime Mobility ride-hailing platform. The companies signed an upgraded strategic cooperation agreement to jointly build a robotaxi fleet and expand operations beyond their current areas. Under the arrangement, Pony.ai will license its “Virtual Driver” autonomous driving system to fleet partners, while Chenqi will handle fleet ownership and dispatching. The Gen-7 vehicles are based on the GAC AION V model and are designed for a lifespan of up to 600,000 kilometers. Pony.ai said the cost of its autonomous driving kit for Gen-7 has been reduced by 70% compared with the previous generation.
