Pony.ai addressed a recent incident involving a passenger whose finger was caught in the door of one of its autonomous vehicles. The company stated that the incident occurred on October 3 when a companion manually closed the door, accidentally trapping the passenger's finger.
Following the event, Pony.ai assisted the passenger in receiving medical care and cooperated with local traffic police. After reviewing the company's video footage of the incident, authorities classified the event as an accident rather than a traffic collision. The passenger has since returned home.
