Abu Dhabi on Saturday said that it will expand its robotaxi services to include new areas in the emirate.

The Integrated Transport Centre of Abu Dhabi said that it is building on the service’s success since its launch in 2021 across Yas, Al Saadiyat, Al Reem and Al Maryah Islands, as well as Zayed International Airport.

It is now expanding operations into new high-activity, high-density areas, including Khalifa City, Masdar City and Rabdan. New routes will also be introduced connecting Abu Dhabi Corniche with Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, giving residents and visitors more smart mobility options and wider access to autonomous services across the emirate.

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

The authority has noted that the service has seen rising uptake since its launch, recording growth of nearly 150 per cent in the number of trips during 2025, driven by previous operational expansions and increasing user confidence in the smart technologies used in operation. The vehicles also achieved a 99.9 per cent safety rate.
