Pony AI Inc. announced on June 6, 2025, the launch of public road testing for its seventh-generation Robotaxis in the southern Chinese megacities of Guangzhou and Shenzhen. These vehicles, based on Guangzhou Auto (GAC)'s second-generation Aion V model, are equipped with Pony AI's most advanced autonomous driving system.
The company recently obtained a regulatory permit to conduct these road tests, marking a significant transition from laboratory and closed-track validation into real-world traffic environments. The Gen-7 system, debuted in April, features 100% automotive-grade components and a 70% reduction in Bill of Materials (BOM) costs compared to the previous generation.
Pony AI has accumulated over 45 million kilometers in global autonomous test mileage and established an operational network spanning over 2,000 square kilometers across China's four first-tier cities. With over 500,000 hours of fully driverless operation, the company is targeting 2025 as its 'mass production year,' aiming to build a fleet exceeding 1,000 vehicles by year-end.
