Bolt and Pony.ai to test driverless cars in Europe, aiming for 2026 launches despite regulatory limits.
Bolt, the Estonian ride-hailing company, has partnered with Chinese autonomous driving firm Pony.ai to test and eventually deploy driverless cars across Europe, with initial rollouts expected in 2026.
The companies will first focus on safety validation before scaling up, aiming to launch fully autonomous services within a year of initial deployments.
The move comes as European regulations remain limited to Level 2 automation, requiring driver supervision, while Bolt pushes for faster adoption despite market and regulatory challenges.
The partnership reflects growing Chinese tech investment in Europe, where firms like Pony.ai are expanding operations and forming alliances amid U.S. market barriers.
Bolt y Pony.ai probarán autos sin conductor en Europa, con el objetivo de lanzarlos en 2026 a pesar de los límites regulatorios.
