During one of the busiest travel seasons in China, Pony.ai’s Robotaxi fleet provided continuous autonomous mobility services in four tier-one cities — Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Beijing and Shanghai — demonstrating the scalability and reliability of its driverless technology even under peak demand conditions.
Record Paid Order Volume in Shenzhen
Pony.ai’s performance in Shenzhen — often regarded as China’s tech innovation hub — was a standout highlight of the holiday period. By February 16, the cumulative number of paid Robotaxi orders in Shenzhen had already surpassed the total for all of 2025, a notable milestone driven by fleet expansion and higher vehicle utilization.
Over the nine-day Chinese New Year holiday, Pony.ai achieved an average of 26 paid orders per vehicle per day — a strong signal of rider demand and platform traction in its autonomous ride-hailing operations.
What These Results Signal
The holiday performance underscores several important trends for Pony.ai:
- Operational Resilience: Continuous service through the holiday surge demonstrates the company’s ability to scale autonomous operations reliably in real-world, high-traffic environments. (
- Rising Consumer Adoption: Average daily paid orders per vehicle — especially near Shenzhen — point to growing acceptance and utilization of autonomous mobility services among urban riders.
- Commercial Validation: Exceeding past annual totals within just weeks of 2026 illustrates the potential for rapid growth ahead as Pony.ai expands its fleet and service footprint.
