\nPony.ai, an autonomous vehicle startup based in Silicon Valley and Guangzhou, China, is no longer able to test its vehicles in California after the state\u2019s Department of Motor Vehicles revoked the company\u2019s license for \u201cnumerous\u201d safety violations. The news was first reported by TechCrunch<\/em>. <\/p>\n
The issue is that the company\u2019s workforce of safety drivers are not very safe drivers. The DMV said that, while reviewing Pony.ai\u2019s testing license, it found \u201cnumerous violations\u201d on the driving records of the company\u2019s safety drivers. Pony.ai currently has 41 autonomous vehicles and 71 safety drivers registered on its permit in California. <\/p>\n
\u201cBecause of the critical role of safety drivers to facilitate the safe testing of autonomous technology and the need for these drivers to have a clean driving record as established by the DMV\u2019s autonomous vehicle regulations, the DMV is revoking the permit, effective immediately,\u201d a DMV spokesperson said. <\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe DMV is revoking the permit, effective immediately\u201d<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nThis isn\u2019t the first time that Poiny.ai has run afoul of the California DMV, a state agency that manages one of the largest AV testing programs in the country. Last year, the company\u2019s permit to test driverless vehicles \u2014 autonomous vehicles without safety drivers \u2014 was suspended after a reported vehicle collision<\/a> in Fremont, California. <\/p>\n
A spokesperson for Pony.ai said the DMV revoked the permit because it had concerns over three of its safety drivers\u2019 records. \u201c<\/em>Pony.ai approaches the development of autonomous vehicle technology with safety as our foundation, and we are proud of our safety record,\u201d the spokesperson said in an email. \u201cPony.ai has driven over 6.8 million real-world autonomous miles, in which no injuries have occurred.\u201d<\/p>\n
This represents a serious hurdle to Pony\u2019s commercial plans in the state. Shortly after receiving its driverless testing permit last year, Pony.ai founder and CEO James Peng told The Verge<\/em><\/a> that the company was also seeking approval to include those vehicles in its robotaxi service in California. \u201cWe are actually at the final stage of getting the approval for travelers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Pony.ai was valued at $8.5 billion after a $400 million investment from Toyota<\/a>. The company tests autonomous vehicles in the Chinese cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, as well as in Fremont and Irvine in California. Pony recently received a permit to operate its autonomous taxi service in China<\/a>, making it the first company to win the country\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
