From the prospectus:

“Pony is a global leader in achieving large-scale commercialization of autonomous mobility.

“On the public roads of China’s metropolises, Pony has achieved what was once only depicted in science fiction — building a car that drives itself. Today, a commute in a driverless Pony robotaxi is not merely a display of groundbreaking technology, but becoming a part of the daily lives for many residents in these communities. As intuitive as a trip in a traditional taxi, hailing a ride with 

“Pony’s robotaxi offers everyone a revolutionary mobility option to make our streets safer and greener, changing the way the world moves.

“After one summons a ride on the PonyPilot mobile app, a robotaxi shows up at the designated pick-up spot quickly — looking no different from a traditional taxi, except for the equipped sensors watching and coping with the streets. But the difference lies beneath the surface — no one is behind the driving wheel.

“Passengers, wide-eyed with wonder, unlock the door using the app and climb into the back seat. The robotaxi hits the road and navigates the crowded urban districts confidently and smoothly, expertly handling unexpected snags with ease and intelligently identifying all the obstacles in its path, including other cars, pedestrians, construction zones, and even in inclement weather conditions. As the steering wheel turns itself with seamless precision, the car brakes and accelerates without any human intervention, until it pulls over steadily at the destination.

“Stepping out of the car, the passengers pay the fare through the app and conclude this awe-inspiring ride. Meanwhile, the robotaxi drives itself away to pick up the next passenger, leaving one to ponder what other marvels the future holds.

“Starting from scratch and bringing our technology to people’s lives is by itself a testament to our commitment to autonomous mobility. Yet the progress we have made to date is what sets Pony apart from our peers:

•

“We were among the first in China to obtain licenses to operate fully driverless robotaxis in all four Tier-1 cities in China (namely Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen), and we are the only autonomous driving technology company that has obtained all available regulatory permits essential for providing public-facing robotaxi services within these Tier-1 cities, according to Frost & Sullivan.

​

•

“We currently operate a fleet of over 250 robotaxis, which has accumulated over 33.5 million kilometers of autonomous driving mileage, including over 3.9 million kilometers of driverless mileage.

​

•

“We have formed a joint venture with Toyota and GTMC to advance the mass production and large-scale deployment of fully driverless robotaxis in China. In addition, we have partnered with other leading OEMs, such as SAIC, GAC and FAW, to co-develop and mass produce robotaxi vehicles.

​

•

“Empowered by our strong partnerships with leading TNCs, such as OnTime Mobility, Amap and Alipay, we were among the first to offer fully driverless fare-charging, public-facing robotaxi services with substantial safety benefits and compelling passenger experience, according to Frost & Sullivan.
