The Rimac Group describes Verne\u2014its new autonomous ride-hailing service\u2014as its \u201cnext impossible thing.\u201d First, founder\u00a0Mate Rimac<\/a> established his eponymous electric hypercar company<\/a> in Croatia, a country with no history of carmaking. That went well. Porsche, Hyundai and Softbank all took stakes. The Volkswagen Group gifted him a majority stake in Bugatti<\/a> in return for access to his propulsion tech in future models.<\/p>\n

Rimac Technology now supplies electric drivetrains to Porsche, BMW and Aston Martin, among many others, and it is developing advanced\u00a0energy storage tech, too.<\/p>\n

And now there’s Verne, Mate’s autonomous ride-hailing service launched today in Zagreb, the Croatian capital. Named after French novelist and futurist Jules Verne, it goes live in Zagreb first in 2026, followed by Manchester in the UK. Agreements have been signed to bring the service to another nine cities in Europe and the Middle East, and Verne is in talks to roll out to another 30 cities worldwide.<\/p>\n
