PONY AI Inc. Kicks Off Fully-Driverless Commercial Services for Gen-7 Robotaxis Across Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Beijing

Guangzhou, China, November 6, 2025 -- Pony AI Inc. ("Pony.ai" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: PONY; HKEX: 2026), a global leader in the commercialization of autonomous mobility, today announced the launch of fully-driverless commercial operations across Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Beijing for its multiple seventh-generation ("Gen-7") Robotaxi models. This marks the official launch of its Gen-7 Robotaxis in China's top-tier cities, significantly accelerating the path to large-scale commercialization.

Pony.ai has rapidly progressed from mass production and testing to securing fully-driverless commercial permits, a testament to its rigorous safety validation and scalable deployment capabilities. Leveraging its proven technological expertise, the latest-generation Robotaxis, including the vehicles in partnership with Beijing Automotive Industry Corporation ("BAIC") and Guangzhou Automobile Group ("GAC"), deliver significant upgrades in safety, comfort, and efficiency.

To ensure the industry-leading safety and stability, the Gen-7 autonomous driving system features a 100% automotive-grade autonomous driving kit ("ADK"), designed for an extended product lifecycle of 600,000 kilometers. Continuous design optimizations have reduced bill-of-materials ("BOM") costs by 70%. Pony.ai also advances interactive planning capabilities, intelligently optimizing the frequency and magnitude of acceleration and braking to deliver smooth, natural motion control tailored to electric vehicles. Additionally, it enhances the human-machine interface ("HMI"), such as voice-activated controls to start trips. Together, these tech-driven upgrades create a user-centric experience, making autonomous mobility more accessible and intuitive for users. Pony.ai is currently operating fully-driverless commercial Robotaxi services across all four tier-1 cities in China, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, with a combined fleet exceeding 720 vehicles.

"Deploying Gen-7 Robotaxis for fully-driverless service across Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Beijing reflects accelerated momentum in our large-scale commercialization roadmap," said Dr. James Peng, Chairman and CEO of Pony.ai.
