Europe's first commercial robot-taxis begin service in Zagreb

Croatian company Verne has launched Europe's first commercial robot-taxi service in Zagreb, Croatia, on June 2. The autonomous vehicles are navigating the city's complex traffic conditions.

Zagreb, Croatia, has become the first European capital to host commercial robot-taxi services, launched by Croatian company Verne on June 2. The autonomous vehicles are navigating the city's often chaotic traffic, which presents a more complex environment compared to urban areas in the United States or China. During initial operations, a Verne robot-taxi successfully avoided a cyclist who ran a red light and utilized a bus lane for overtaking. This deployment marks a significant step for autonomous mobility within Europe's diverse urban landscapes. Sources: Le Monde
