Emile Weber, Emile Weber's managing partner, expressed that the collaboration will usher in a new era of transportation in Luxembourg.

Pony.ai plans to leverage its Chinese expertise and autonomous driving solutions globally, with R&D centers already established in China, the United States, and Europe. Concurrently, Pony.ai is expanding its international presence to facilitate the global deployment of autonomous driving commercial products. The company intends to list the NASDAQ in the United States to showcase its leading position in autonomous driving technology.

According to market forecasts, the global autonomous driving mobility services market holds immense potential, with China expected to emerge as one of the largest markets.
