  • Croatian Startup Verne Partners with Uber and Pony.ai to Launch Robotaxi Service in Europe
    March 26, 2026, 6:08 AM EDT. Verne, a Croatian robotaxi startup founded by Mate Rimac, is entering the European autonomous ride-hailing market with backing from Uber and China's Pony.ai. The venture aims to launch a commercial robotaxi service starting in Zagreb, Croatia, leveraging Pony.ai's autonomous driving system installed in the Arcfox Alpha T5 vehicle. Verne will manage the fleet while Uber integrates the service into its ride-hailing platform and plans to invest strategically. Testing is underway, although no launch date has been set. Verne's mission focuses on electric urban robotaxis, diverging from Rimac's hypercar production. The company plans local vehicle production in a new Croatian factory later this year.
