A Croatian company is launching what it says is Europe’s first self-driving taxi service, called Robotaxi. The service, operated by Verne, started last month with 10 self-driving vehicles covering a 90-square-kilometer area in the Croatian capital, Zagreb.
The company stated that the vehicles are providing rides within that zone. Verne has positioned the rollout as the first robotaxi service of its kind on the continent. The operation remains limited to a defined district of the city for now.
The 10 vehicles began commercial operations in April.
They are restricted to a 90-square-kilometer section of Zagreb, an area that includes a mix of urban and residential zones. The company has not released ridership numbers or customer feedback from the first month of service. It also has not disclosed plans for expanding the fleet or geographic coverage beyond the initial area.
Verne’s announcement frames its Zagreb service as the first full robotaxi deployment on the continent, though comparable projects exist in other nations under different regulatory frameworks. The company said it complied with all local requirements to begin operations. Further details on regulatory approvals or technical specifications of the vehicles were not provided in the announcement.
