Pony.ai and JD Auto Care launched a strategic partnership on July 21 to develop a standardized maintenance system for autonomous fleets. The collaboration focuses on vehicle maintenance and supply chain integration.
This agreement marks the first comprehensive partnership between a Chinese autonomous driving firm and a national automotive aftermarket platform. The infrastructure supports the large-scale commercialization of Pony.ai’s robotaxi services.
Separately, Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest increased its stake in the company by purchasing over 163,000 shares.
