Pony.ai Launches Driverless Robotaxi Testing in Dubai, Targets Commercial Rollout in 2026

Pony.ai has started fully driverless robotaxi testing on Dubai roads after earlier public-road approval.

The company is targeting a commercial robotaxi launch in the second half of 2026.

The move is a key step in Pony.ai’s Middle East expansion and broader overseas growth plan.

Dubai’s testing program could help accelerate autonomous ride-hailing in a major global mobility market.
