Wedoany.com Report on Mar 19th, Pony.ai announced the official delivery of the first batch of GAC Aion Titan Robotaxis equipped with Pony.ai's seventh-generation autonomous driving system to Ruqi Mobility. The initial delivery exceeded one hundred vehicles. These vehicles have been successfully integrated into the Ruqi Mobility platform and have gradually commenced commercial operations.
This delivery marks the entry of the cooperation between Pony.ai and Ruqi Mobility in the Robotaxi field into a phase of large-scale implementation. As a leading domestic autonomous driving technology company, the seventh-generation autonomous driving system delivered by Pony.ai this time has achieved comprehensive upgrades in perception accuracy, decision-making efficiency, and system stability, enabling it to better handle complex urban traffic scenarios. The GAC Aion Titan, serving as the vehicle platform, provides a stable and reliable foundation for the autonomous driving system.
Ruqi Mobility, as a mobility service platform, will be responsible for the daily operations and user outreach of these Robotaxis. After the vehicles are integrated into the platform, users can hail autonomous vehicles in designated areas through the Ruqi Mobility App to experience driverless travel services. The cooperation model between the two parties is a typical case of deep integration between an autonomous driving company and a mobility platform. Driven by the dual wheels of technology and platform, it accelerates the evolution of Robotaxi from demonstration operations to large-scale commercial operations.
This initial delivery of over one hundred vehicles places the scale at a leading position within the industry. This not only tests the mass-production consistency of the autonomous driving system but also imposes higher requirements on vehicle dispatching, operation and maintenance support, and user service capabilities. As these vehicles gradually go online, the density of autonomous driving mobility services in operational areas such as Guangzhou will be further enhanced.
The cooperation between Pony.ai and Ruqi Mobility began several years ago. The two parties have established deep synergy in technology verification, road testing accumulation, and operational pilots. This large-scale delivery not only realizes the fruits of previous cooperation but also lays the foundation for subsequent larger-scale Robotaxi fleet deployments. As autonomous driving technology continues to mature and policies gradually open up, the commercialization process of Robotaxi is accelerating.
