China's Pony.ai to more than double robotaxi fleet, debuts in Zagreb

Pony.ai expects to more than double its robotaxi fleet to over 3,000 units across more than 20 cities globally this year and reported its first-ever quarterly profit. The combination of 100%+ fleet expansion guidance and initial profitability signals commercial scaling and should be positive for the company’s valuation and autonomous-vehicle sector sentiment, likely affecting company/sector-level investor sentiment but not broader markets.
