Dubai is preparing to launch a 15-km dedicated corridor for driverless transport, known as the Dubai Autonomous Zone (DAZ), by 2026. This initiative is part of the city’s ambitious goal to make 25% of daily trips autonomous by 2030. The corridor will connect major hubs such as Al Jaddaf Metro Station, Dubai Creek Harbour, and Dubai Festival City. It will integrate multiple transport modes including RoboTaxis, RoboBuses, autonomous shuttles, delivery bots, and self-driving marine abras. Partnerships with Uber and WeRide will also bring app-based RoboTaxi services to the public, reinforcing Dubai’s global leadership in smart mobility.
