“Backed by Uber and powered by Chinese firm Pony.ai”
SINGLE SOURCE
One piece of evidence explicitly mentions that the service is 'Pony.ai-powered'. However, the provided evidence for Claim 1 consists of generic definitions of robotaxis and Tesla/Waymo information, failing to provide corroboration for the 'Backed by Uber' part of the claim. Only the evidence from Claim 0 mentions Pony.ai.

SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence provided for this claim consists of programming forum discussions regarding the 'self' keyword in Python and PHP, which are completely irrelevant to the factual claim about self-driving car operations in Zagreb.
