A self-driving robotaxi from Pony.ai completed a test ride at Zagreb Airport, operating autonomously with only minor hesitation, including one instance where another driver honked in frustration. The vehicle navigated the route without human intervention, marking a step forward in autonomous ride-hailing technology. Observers noted the system’s ability to handle real-world traffic, though occasional delays in decision-making highlighted areas for refinement. The trial underscores both the promise and persistent challenges of fully autonomous vehicles in public settings.
Verne and Pony.ai’s robotaxi handled a Zagreb airport run smoothly, with just two moments of indecision — one of which drew an angry horn blast from another driver.
