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 brief moments of indecision marked the first public trial of the vehicle in the region, demonstrating progress in autonomous ride-sharing technology. Observers noted the system’s ability to navigate real-world traffic conditions, though human oversight remained in place. The incident highlights both the potential and the challenges of integrating fully autonomous vehicles into daily transportation.
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.
