At the Shanghai Auto Show, which opened on April 23, 2025, Pony.ai officially launched the seventh-generation Robotaxi family and announced in-depth cooperation with three models: BAIC New Energy Alpha T5, Toyota Platinum 4X, and GAC Aion Tyrannosaurus Rex. At the press conference, reporters learned that Pony.ai's seventh-generation Robotaxi family uses 100% automotive-grade components and has a design life of 600,000 kilometers. It is worth noting that the seventh-generation autonomous driving system has achieved significant cost reductions through platform design, including a 70% reduction in the cost of automotive-grade autonomous driving system solutions, a more than 80% reduction in the cost of on-board computing units, and a 68% reduction in the cost of lidar. In terms of mass production progress, Pony.ai announced on site that it has the ability to mass produce Robotaxi and defined 2025 as the "first year of Robotaxi mass production."
