Mass production

Pony.ai has unveiled its Gen-4 autonomous electric truck, developed with GAC Commercial Vehicle. This Level 4 heavy-duty truck features an advanced sensor suite, a 70% cost reduction in its autonomous driving kit, and 30% lower operating costs per ton-kilometer. With enhanced energy efficiency and robust redundancy for driverless operation, mass production is set to begin this year, targeting global logistics markets.

Rokid and Lens Technology have launched the Rokid Glasses, an AI-powered AR device, marking a shift towards commercialized AI-integrated AR. The glasses, with over 250,000 pre-orders, are the first mass-produced consumer AI+AR glasses. This partnership combines Rokid’s software and hardware expertise with Lens Technology’s manufacturing capabilities, creating a lightweight, feature-rich device. The collaboration fuels an ecosystem supporting AR applications and aims at leading the growing AR market.

Pony.ai is accelerating its Robotaxi ambitions, beginning public road testing of its seventh-generation autonomous vehicles in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, China. Built on GAC’s Aion V model, the Gen-7 system boasts automotive-grade components, reduced costs, and versatile design. With advanced sensors and the “PonyWorld” model, the company aims for full-scenario operation. Strategic partnerships and over 45 million kilometers of testing position Pony.ai for mass production and a fleet exceeding 1,000 vehicles by the end of 2025.
