Pony.ai Robotaxi lands in Hong Kong, Didi abandons self-developed Robotaxi

Following Baidu's Carrot Run, Pony.ai's Robotaxi was launched on the streets of Hong Kong, marking that the use of Robotaxi is no longer limited to demonstration areas. In August 2023, Didi sold its Robotaxi-related manufacturing business to Xiaopeng, and the online car-hailing platform gave up on making cars and developing its own Robotaxi. However, as the popularity of Robotaxi rises again, online car-hailing platforms without Robotaxi will cooperate with autonomous driving companies, which will become a new trend.
