Singapore residents can now book autonomous rides via the "Autonomous Driving Zone" within the Zig app. Initial routes cover hubs like Punggol Coast Square, MRT station, Community Club, Oasis Terraces, and Town Square. This bridges the regional transport network, offering residents a new travel option. Since April, the project ran a pilot for invited users in Punggol, refining the experience for this launch.
This public rollout is a significant step in Pony.ai's "China + Overseas" dual-engine strategy. The company accelerated international expansion. In April, it started Dubai driverless testing. Partnering with Verne and Uber, it launched Europe’s first commercial Robotaxi service in Croatia. By May, it tested its seventh-generation Robotaxi in Luxembourg with Bolt and Stellantis. Domestically, Pony.ai expanded in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, and Changsha.
Spurred by growing demand and expanding service zones, Pony.ai is scaling up its Robotaxi fleet. The company aims to grow its global fleet to more than 3,500 vehicles and deploy services in over 20 cities by the end of 2026.
