China’s Pony.ai eyes ‘sizeable fleet’ in Hong Kong, unfazed by Tesla robotaxi competition


“We have already set a footprint in Guangzhou and we are eyeing Hong Kong,” chief financial officer Leo Wang said at a media event in the city on Tuesday.

He said Pony.ai needed to work with local authorities and partners to explore the best way forward.

On working with the city’s Transport Department, Wang said Pony.ai has engaged in dialogue already, “but a lot needs to be done”.

“This is an effort we’ll be relentlessly working on, but due to the complexity, it’s a bit hard to predict,” he said. “So when we’ll actually have a sizeable fleet on Hong Kong Island, I’m not sure yet. Hopefully soon.”
