Robotaxis Expand in Abu Dhabi
- March 12, 2025
Abu Dhabi's pioneering self-driving taxi pilot program is expanding to several new areas across the city, marking a significant step towards the wider adoption of autonomous transportation. Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) Abu Dhabi announced the expansion, stating that the fleet of autonomous vehicles will now operate in designated zones in Yas Island, Saadiyat Island, and downtown Abu Dhabi.The pilot program, launched last year, has gathered valuable data and feedback, paving the way for this expansion. Residents can hail the self-driving taxis through a dedicated mobile app and experience a futuristic mode of transport. While safety drivers will remain onboard during the pilot phase, the long-term vision is to fully integrate autonomous vehicles into Abu Dhabi's public transport network, enhancing efficiency and sustainability.
