autonomous taxis

The announcement follows the recent introduction of self-driving taxis in Dubai, part of the emirate’s broader push to advance smart mobility and future-focused transport infrastructure

The initiative is being implemented in partnership with Apollo Go and WeRide (Nasdaq: WRD), both globally recognised leaders in autonomous driving technologies

The RT6 vehicle represents the sixth generation of autonomous taxi technology has been designed for large-scale commercial deployment

These vehicles feature cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) systems, along with a suite of advanced sensors, lidars, radars, and cameras

Uber and WeRide will begin testing autonomous taxis in Dubai this year, with a safety driver present, before moving toward a fully driverless commercial launch in 2026
