Starting on August 3rd, users in Beijing will be able to hail a Robotaxi autonomous vehicle ride via Cao Cao Mobility’s mobile application and mini program. The service can be accessed through a designated “autonomous driving” portal on the platform. Users need to fill out the needed information about the number of passengers, place of departure, and destination. The ride and payment of the Robotaxi service are the same as a regular online ride-hailing experience.  

Pony.ai’s PonyPilot+ autonomous mobility service covers the 60 square kilometers of core areas in Beijing’s E-Town. There are 250 stations for picking up and dropping off passengers.

In an effort to facilitate the commercialization of its autonomous driving technologies, Pony.ai adopts two business models. It individually operates its own ride-hailing platform, PonyPilot+, while working with third-party mobility service providers to branch out to more cities. Up to now, Pony.ai holds relationships with Cao Cao Mobility, GAC Group-backed On Time, and T3 Mobility.
