   AI agents become ride-hailing's front door as Robotaxi and platforms converge

   An analysis republished by TMTPost (originally by 巨潮WAVE) argues that as China's ride-hailing market matures — roughly RMB 411.9 billion in 2025, up 6.07% year on year, with users flat at 539 million — system-level AI agents are replacing aggregator apps as the entry point for trips. It cites Cao Cao Mobility integrating AI ride-hailing into Doubao's phone assistant on a Nubia handset, Honor's YOYO, OPPO's Xiaobuo Next and Qwen AI glasses, so users can book without opening a travel app. The piece also describes Robotaxi operators (Apollo Go, Pony.ai, WeRide) and platforms (DiDi, Cao Cao, Ruqi, T3) moving toward mixed human-plus-driverless operation and eventual consolidation.

   Uber and Pony.ai to test Gen-7 robotaxis in London within weeks

   Pony.ai will begin testing its seventh-generation robotaxis in London in the coming weeks, ahead of a service on Uber, the company said on X on Thursday. Pony.ai gave no number of vehicles and no date for a commercial launch, and the two companies have not said who will own and run the London fleet, according to TechCrunch. The move follows their live partnership in Zagreb, where Pony.ai supplies the self-driving system and the Arcfox Alpha T5 vehicle, a third party owns and operates the fleet, and Uber provides the ride-hailing network; London is expected to follow a similar model.
