Key Points

In the latest step towards building a revenue-generating robotaxi business, Chinese startup Pony.ai said it has obtained the first permit to charge fares for fully driverless taxis in core parts of a business district of Shenzhen.

While Pony.ai did not disclose how many robotaxis it could operate in the region, the company said the driverless cars could run daily from 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. local time.
