During a break at the Shanghai Auto Show, Pony.ai CEO Peng Jun addressed concerns regarding the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, stating that while these measures may impact the company's international expansion plans, the direct effect on the supply chain is anticipated to be minimal. Peng Jun emphasized that Pony.ai has developed alternative and backup strategies to mitigate any potential disruptions. Currently, the company utilizes NVIDIA's autonomous driving chips and is considering integrating its latest updated version. Additionally, Pony.ai is exploring options with Chinese local chip manufacturers as viable alternatives.
