These 10 Stocks are Stealing the Spotlight

2. Pony AI Inc. (NASDAQ:PONY)

Pony AI jumped by 16.73 percent on Tuesday to end at $13.26 apiece as investor sentiment was buoyed by comments from its co-founder, suggesting that he was not threatened by Tesla’s robotaxi operations.

Pony AI Inc. (NASDAQ:PONY), an autonomous driving company based in China, is similarly expanding robotaxi operations into international markets. Last month, it partnered with Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:UBER) for the expansion of its robotaxis in key markets in the Middle East, as well as other countries.

Pony AI Inc. (NASDAQ:PONY) co-founder Lou Tiancheng was quoted as saying in a report by Car News China that Tesla “hasn’t yet taken a seat at the L4 poker table,” which classifies vehicles with both driverless operations and large-scale deployment of autonomous vehicles.

In recent news, Pony AI Inc. (NASDAQ:PONY) last week unveiled its seventh-generation Robotaxi at the 2025 International Automotive & Supply Chain Expo in Hong Kong.

The Gen 7 robotaxi utilizes 100% automotive-grade components and boasts a 70% cost reduction in its autonomous driving kits. It is also designed for adaptability and supports integration across various vehicles.
