Past reports of robotaxi mass production in China that didn't happen - another example

I posted 3 articles about Chinese EV announced robotaxi mass production in year 2021 and 2202 but didn't happen. Someone argued that they're small companies which is weak because one of the report is a big company, Baidu. You can read my previous article here:
Past reports of robotaxi mass production in China that didn't happen

This article revealed that Toyota backed Pony.ai (co-developed with SAIC) has announced commercial robotaxi in year 2022 but also didn't happen.

Till date, there are more than a dozen cities in China that have approved commercial trials of autonomous vehicles, inclusive of taxis and urban buses, in designated areas and specific periods of time. Most recently, Shanghai opened its downtown roads for self-driving testing, as more parts of China pivots to driverless public transport. To complement the burgeoning industry, Guangzhou-based Pony.ai is planning to develop fully driverless electric robotaxis along with China’s largest auto manufacturer SAIC.

Ultimately, this mass-produced, purpose-built vehicle will accelerate the widespread commercial adoption of robotaxis and autonomous driving technology across multiple cities in China.
