Bolt Begins Testing Self-Driving Taxis in Luxembourg to Advance Autonomous Vehicle Technology
Ride-hailing platform Bolt, in collaboration with Chinese company Pony.ai and carmaker Stellantis, has initiated a trial of self-driving taxis in Luxembourg. The trial, which started with five vehicles in the town of Bissen, aims to expand to 30 vehicles and include Luxembourg City. This initiative is part of a broader effort to test autonomous vehicles in real-world urban environments. The trial is designed to evaluate the performance of 'robotaxis' in handling crowded urban settings, with safety drivers on board to intervene if necessary. This development is part of a series of planned trials across Europe, as the region seeks to catch up with China and the United States in deploying self-driving taxis.
