Autonomous mobility: Ministerial visit for Pony.ai demo ride

Ministerial Visit to Emile Weber: Advancing Autonomous Mobility

Canach, June 2025 – Luxembourg’s Minister for Mobility and Public Works, Yuriko Backes, and Minister for the Economy, Lex Delles, visited Voyages Emile Weber to learn about the latest developments in the company’s partnership with California-based tech firm Pony.ai. The focus of the visit was the joint pilot project for autonomous mobility in Luxembourg.

During their visit, Emile Weber and Pony.ai presented the progress of their collaboration, highlighting the first locally defined operational design domain (ODD) for autonomous vehicles. The ministers had the opportunity to observe the vehicles in operation within this test area.

The partnership is part of a long-term innovation strategy aimed at gradually introducing autonomous mobility solutions in Luxembourg. The goal is to set new benchmarks for efficiency, safety, and sustainability in transport.

This visit highlights the strategic relevance of the project and Luxembourg’s role as a pioneering hub for future-oriented mobility solutions in Europe. Further testing phases and an expansion of the operational zones are planned in the coming months.
