What Happened
The partnership will deploy Pony.ai's seventh-generation autonomous vehicles, built on Stellantis' L4-Ready Platform™, on Bolt's ride-hailing network in Luxembourg. The program aims to prove the technology's reliability and achieve driverless readiness by the end of the testing phase.
“Autonomous mobility technology is already transforming transportation around the world, and as the only independent, European-founded ride-hailing platform competing globally, we want to be at the forefront of scaling this revolutionary technology in Europe.”
“Luxembourg’s forward-looking regulatory environment provides a strong foundation for autonomous mobility testing in Europe. Together with Bolt and Stellantis, we look forward to validating Pony.ai’s technology in local traffic scenarios.”
“Autonomous mobility can make transportation more accessible and affordable for customers. At Stellantis, our L4-Ready Platforms™ are designed to deliver flexible, scalable solutions across multiple vehicle segments.”
Why this matters
This pilot will validate safety and performance of self-driving cars in real city traffic, bringing us closer to everyday driverless mobility services.
