Abu Dhabi Mobility has officially launched the commercial operations of its fully autonomous vehicles, allowing residents to book the advanced transportation mode across the emirate.
The first two operating permits were granted to WeRide, booked through Uber and Tawasul between 8:00 am and 10:00 pm, in addition to AutoGo–K2 in collaboration with ApolloGo–Baidu.
The permits were provided following the fulfilment of all safety and operational readiness requirements and the successful completion of rigorous testing.
These tests covered performance evaluations, sensor systems, and vehicle responses in real-world traffic conditions in Abu Dhabi.
The transport authority has assured citizens using the driverless vehicles of monitoring vehicle movements and operations in real time and coordinating with operators through an advanced digital platform that enables live vehicle tracking and immediate logging and analysis of any incidents or violations.
The milestone is the result of the close collaboration between Abu Dhabi Mobility and the UAE Regulations Lab at the General Secretariat of the Cabinet, under the supervision of the Smart and Autonomous Systems Council (SASC), to enable the safe and well-regulated commercial deployment of advanced self-driving technologies in the emirate, in line with the UAE’s approved legislative and regulatory frameworks.
