Pony AI Stock Soars 10.48% on Global Expansion

Pony AI's stock surged by 10.48% in pre-market trading on June 25, 2025, driven by positive investor sentiment and strategic developments.

Pony AI, a leading autonomous driving company based in China, has been expanding its robotaxi operations into international markets. Recently, the company partnered with Uber Technologies Inc. for the expansion of its robotaxis in key markets in the Middle East and other countries. This strategic move is part of Pony AI's broader plan to compete in the global autonomous driving sector.

In a recent interview, Pony AI's co-founder Lou Tiancheng expressed confidence in the company's capabilities, stating that Tesla has not yet entered the L4 autonomous driving market, which involves both driverless operations and large-scale deployment of autonomous vehicles. This statement has bolstered investor confidence in Pony AI's potential to lead in the autonomous driving industry.

Additionally, Pony AI unveiled its seventh-generation Robotaxi at the 2025 International Automotive & Supply Chain Expo in Hong Kong. The Gen 7 robotaxi features 100% automotive-grade components and a 70% cost reduction in its autonomous driving kits, making it more adaptable and cost-effective. This innovation further solidifies Pony AI's position as a pioneer in the autonomous driving technology sector.
