Ride-hailing company inDrive, positioned as a competitor to Uber, plans to begin testing robotaxis in Kazakhstan’s capital. According to the report, the tests would use Pony.ai’s robotaxi technology and are targeted for the first half of 2027. The effort is reported to involve Pony.ai and Nvidia.
Why it matters
The plan signals interest in deploying autonomous ride-hailing in Central Asia, a region less commonly cited in robotaxi initiatives.
Who should care
Ride-hailing operators, autonomous-vehicle developers, and observers of mobility markets in Central Asia may find the planned timeline relevant.
