Abu Dhabi expands robotaxi services to more neighbourhoods

Abu Dhabi has expanded robotaxi services to Khalifa City, Masdar City and Rabdan, responding to a growing demand for smart mobility networks and sustainable transport options.

Making the announcement, the Integrated Transport Centre (ITC), said the expansion aligns with Abu Dhabi’s vision to enhance network efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and improve quality of life for the public.

New routes will also be introduced connecting Abu Dhabi Corniche with Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.

The service is operated commercially by WeRide and Uber, in collaboration with the local operator Tawasul Transport.

Since its launch in 2021, driverless taxis have been deployed across Yas, Al Saadiyat, Al Reem and Al Maryah Islands, as well as Zayed International Airport.

ITC noted that the service has recorded a growth of nearly 150 per cent in the number of trips during 2025, with the vehicles achieving a 99.9 per cent safety rate.
