The companies aim to achieve fully driverless readiness by the end of the pilot program.

Dr. James Peng, Founder and CEO of Pony.ai, stated: "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 and supporting the responsible development of autonomous mobility across the region."

Markus Villig, Founder and CEO of Bolt, said: "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. We welcome Luxembourg's progressive approach to testing this technology and we are excited to work closely with our European partner Stellantis, and global software leader Pony.ai to launch further pilots in the future."
