History

Peng and Lou founded Pony.ai in Silicon Valley in 2016 and built dual operations in the United States and China.1 The company ran robotaxi pilots and later public services in Chinese cities. Cross-border AV companies sit under export-control and data-security rules; those constraints are part of the operating fact pattern.
