ADM NEWS | Under supervision of Smart and Autonomous Systems Council, Integrated Transport Centre (Abu Dhabi Mobility) expands operation of Robotaxi to Khalifa City, Masdar/”>Masdar City, and Rabdan The Integrated Transport Centre (ITC), an affiliate of the Department of Municipalities and Transport in Abu Dhabi, has announced the expansion of its Robotaxi services to include new areas across the emirate.
The expansion reflects Abu Dhabi’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its smart mobility network and advance its sustainable transport objectives. 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, ITC is 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.
ITC has confirmed that the next phase will see an expansion of the autonomous vehicle fleet to meet growing demand and support the service’s rapid growth, strengthening operational readiness and improving performance efficiency.
It 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. This expansion reinforces Abu Dhabi’s commitment to investing in smart and autonomous mobility and enables the delivery of next-generation services that support smart city ambitions and the development of a sustainable, efficient transport system, reinforcing the emirate’s global position in adopting innovation and advanced technologies.
