The Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT), in collaboration with the Integrated Transport Centre (ITC), has just launched a turbo-charged round of autonomous vehicle testing, revving up the capital’s transformation into a next-gen transport hub.
Cruising towards tomorrow
Welcome to the Smart Mobility Project; where the rubber meets the road on cutting-edge tech!
This isn’t just science fiction on four wheels. These trials represent a major ignition point for smarter, greener, and safer travel across Abu Dhabi.
The spotlight is now on a fleet of futuristic rides, fine-tuned with souped-up safety systems, plush passenger comforts, and lightning-fast responsiveness.
Designed to conquer the unique driving dynamics of Abu Dhabi’s roads, these cars aren’t just smart; they’re road scholars.

AI takes the wheel
Currently navigating key roads across the city, these self-driving marvels are under 24/7 surveillance to ensure every journey is smooth and secure.
With a high-octane blend of sensors, cameras, and LiDAR tech, these vehicles can see the world around them, dodge danger, and cruise confidently; all with zero human input.
Paving the road to a smarter city
This high-tech initiative is right in the driver’s seat of Abu Dhabi’s vision to become a world-leading smart city.
The DMT is fueling innovation, turbocharging sustainability, and making road safety the top passenger.
The ITC is fully on board too, saying the project is geared toward creating a “safe and sustainable transport environment” that keeps Abu Dhabi rolling alongside global mobility leaders.
What’s around the bend?
While there’s no green light just yet for hopping into a robo-taxi, these test drives are shifting gears toward a future where driverless cars are part of daily life.
Expect more test phases and gradual rollouts; because the road to autonomy is long, but Abu Dhabi is accelerating fast.
Stay tuned. The future of mobility? It’s not just arriving; it’s parking itself right at your doorstep.
