China robotaxi services spread but still require long walk to pickup points

Robotaxis in China are spreading from pilot projects into everyday transport, offering driverless rides, comfortable interiors and stable driving. A comparison of Pony.ai in Shenzhen and Baidu’s Apollo Go in Beijing found differences in driving style, with Pony.ai more cautious and Apollo Go more aggressive. Both still require passengers to walk several hundred metres to fixed pickup and drop-off points. Pony.ai’s second-quarter robotaxi revenue jumped 691.2 percent to $12.1 million.

Tesla begins Cybercab display in China, rules out sales and commercial robotaxi operations

Tesla is publicly showing its Cybercab in China for the first time but drew a line under any link to local sales or commercial operations of a driverless ride-hailing service. The display begins on Sept. 17 and runs at venues in Beijing and Shanghai through late September. Tesla said the event is to present the product’s design and technology concept, noting the two-seat vehicle lacks a steering wheel and pedals and cannot be registered for consumer sale.
