Sign InWeRide and Uber have officially commenced commercial autonomous taxi services in downtown Abu Dhabi, marking a significant milestone for autonomous mobility in the UAE. The service currently covers approximately 70% of key urban districts, aiming to enhance connectivity and support Abu Dhabi's growth as a global tourism and technology hub. Since the initial rollout in December 2024, the fleet size has quadrupled, reflecting strong operational momentum and market demand. Looking ahead, the partners plan to scale the fleet to thousands of vehicles by 2027 to meet long-term strategic goals. Expansion efforts will also see the deployment of at least 1,200 Robotaxis across major Middle Eastern cities, including Dubai and Riyadh. This development underscores Uber's successful integration of autonomous technology and its commitment to scaling in high-growth international markets.
