Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced the commencement of commercial operations of the autonomous taxi service in Umm Suqeim and Jumeirah, in partnership with Apollo Go and WeRide.
The first phase of the commercial rollout includes the deployment of 100 autonomous taxis within Dubai’s transport network, with plans for the gradual expansion of the fleet in the coming years.
A series of operational trials of autonomous vehicles was conducted on designated roads across Dubai to evaluate system performance and ensure readiness.
Autonomous taxis operate through an integrated software system powered by artificial intelligence, high-definition digital maps, and deep learning algorithms, enabling real-time data processing and decision-making during operation.
