As part of a ‘Living Lab’, they will test the technologies and operational processes required to enable safe autonomous mobility in urban environments.To support the project, Stellantis is contributing its L4-Ready platforms and vehicle technology, while Bolt is providing its ride-hailing expertise. Pony.ai is supplying the autonomous driving technology. The pilot project builds on existing relationships between the three companies. Bolt and Stellantis, Stellantis and Pony.ai, and Bolt and Pony.ai have each previously collaborated on autonomous mobility initiatives in Europe. These bilateral partnerships have now evolved into a three-way collaboration with a defined project structure.According to an earlier report, the pilot programme in Luxembourg’s traffic environment will use test vehicles based on the Peugeot e-Traveller. Ned Curic, Chief Engineering and Technology Officer at Stellantis, said: “Autonomous mobility can make transportation more accessible and affordable for customers. At Stellantis, our L4-Ready Platforms™ are designed to deliver flexible, scalable solutions across multiple vehicle segments. By working with partners like Bolt and Pony.ai, we aim to bring driverless mobility into everyday life in a way that is safe, efficient and easy to use.”Dr. James Peng, Founder and CEO of Pony.ai, stated: “Luxembourg’s forward-looking regulatory environment provides a strong foundation for autonomous mobility testing in Europe.” Together with Bolt and Stellantis, the company looks forward to testing Pony.ai’s technology under local traffic conditions and supporting the responsible advancement of autonomous mobility across the region.media.stellantis.com, blog.pony.ai, bolt.eu
