Pony.ai (NASDAQ: PONY) is a publicly traded Robotaxi / AV company founded in 2016 and based in Guangzhou, China.
Pony.ai was founded in December 2016 by James Peng and Tiancheng Lou, both veterans of autonomous-driving programs at Baidu and Google. Headquartered in Guangzhou, the company develops a full Level-4 robotaxi and robotruck stack and operates driverless ride-hailing in China's tier-1 cities. Pony.ai listed on Nasdaq in November 2024 under the ticker PONY, raising about $413 million at a roughly $5 billion valuation, and later completed a secondary Hong Kong listing. Through a mass-production partnership with Toyota it is deploying Gen-7 bZ4X robotaxis; the company's fleet passed 1,700 vehicles by mid-2026, with a raised year-end target of 3,500-plus across more than 20 cities, including overseas markets such as Doha and Zagreb. In Q1 2026 Pony.ai reported revenue of $34.3 million (up 145% year over year), with robotaxi revenue up 395%.
Pony.ai is one of China's two publicly listed robotaxi leaders, pairing a homegrown L4 stack with Toyota mass-production to scale fleets at speed.
