Uber has begun offering autonomous vehicle rides in the Croatian capital of Zagreb, its first robotaxi offering in Europe.

The feature builds on a service that local fleet operator Verne began developing in 2019, using Pony AI’s Gen-7 robotaxi system.

The three companies announced they would begin testing the system in March, and have now made it commercially available.
