Pony.ai in Southeast Asia

Pony.ai is the other Chinese robotaxi operator with a live Singapore service -- its Punggol district partnership with ComfortDelGro opened to the public via the Zig app in June 2026, running alongside (and a few blocks from) WeRide's competing Grab-backed pilot. That's a genuinely unusual situation for ASEAN readers: two Chinese autonomous-driving companies piloting driverless rides in the same estate. Financially it's the stronger of the pair right now -- Q1 2026 revenue jumped 145% year-on-year with robotaxi fares up nearly 400%, and the year-end fleet target was raised to 3,500-plus vehicles.
As with every AV company on this list, there's no product to sign up for beyond being a rider in a served city. Zagreb, Croatia became its first European commercial launch in 2026, via Uber and local operator Verne -- worth watching if that partnership model extends toward Southeast Asia next.
What people say
Pony.ai's Q1 2026 numbers were the strongest in the sector: revenue of $34.3 million, up 145% from $14 million a year earlier and well ahead of the $22.6 million analysts expected. Robotaxi-specific revenue rose 395.4% year-on-year, with fare-charging revenue -- actual paid rides rather than pilot or testing income -- up 456.5%. The company raised its year-end robotaxi fleet target from 3,000 to more than 3,500 vehicles after the active fleet already passed 1,700 by May 2026, running on its seventh-generation hardware.
The Singapore operation is the clearest ASEAN entry point here. Pony.ai partnered with ComfortDelGro to start by-invite robotaxi rides in Punggol on April 7, 2026, then opened the service to the general public through ComfortDelGro's Zig app on June 22, covering routes between Punggol Coast Mall, Punggol Coast MRT, One Punggol, Oasis Terrace and Punggol Plaza. Singapore is described as the lead market in a plan to put more than 1,500 robotaxis into overseas cities during 2026.
Rider accounts describe a smooth, quiet trip -- noticeably quieter than a human-driven taxi -- with some describing it as unexpectedly usable as private space; one Shenzhen commuter told reporters they book the same daily slot after lunch because the cabin is clean and calm enough to nap in. In China, Pony.ai's operations reportedly went unaffected by the safety review regulators launched after a rival operator's (Baidu's) Wuhan mass-stall incident in March 2026, a contrast to peers whose stock dipped on the same news. Its Zagreb launch with Uber and Rimac-backed mobility firm Verne is billed as Europe's first commercial robotaxi service, and the company now counts operations across nine countries -- more than 20 cities in total, according to its own count, spanning China, Singapore, Croatia, Qatar and South Korea, with the Singapore and Zagreb launches marking its first real push into fully public overseas service rather than invite-only trials.
