Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Dubai has commenced commercial operations of autonomous taxi services in Umm Suqeim and Jumeirah, marking a significant milestone in the emirate’s transition toward smart and driverless mobility systems. The initiative, led by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), introduces self-driving taxis into the city’s public transport network in partnership with global autonomous technology firms Apollo Go and WeRide. The service is currently available through ride-hailing platforms, including Uber and the Apollo Go app, enabling residents and visitors to book driverless journeys in select areas. The first phase of the rollout includes approximately 100 autonomous taxis operating within the designated districts, with plans to expand the fleet gradually in line with demand and infrastructure readiness. Authorities positioned the launch as a critical step in advancing Dubai’s long-term smart mobility objectives and strengthening its status as a global hub for emerging transport technologies. The deployment follows extensive testing and regulatory approvals earlier in 2026 including the issuance of Dubai’s first permit for fully driverless vehicle trials without a safety driver. Officials said these trials demonstrated high levels of safety, reliability, and operational efficiency, paving the way for commercial operations. Mansoor Rahma Alfalasi, Group CEO, DTC, assured that “the successful trials conducted over the past few months have demonstrated the vehicles’ readiness, particularly in terms of safety, reliability, and operational efficiency, reinforcing our confidence in scaling this initiative.” In parallel, Dubai Taxi Company has initiated fully driverless ride-hailing services through the Apollo Go platform, marking its first international deployment. The service is expected to begin with around 50 vehicles, with long-term plans to scale the fleet to more than 1,000 units over the coming years. The autonomous taxis operate using advanced artificial intelligence, sensors, and real-time data processing systems, enabling them to navigate complex urban environments, interact with traffic conditions, and comply with road regulations. The technology has already accumulated millions of kilometres of autonomous driving globally, supporting its commercial deployment in Dubai. The rollout aligns with Dubai’s Self-Driving Transport Strategy, which targets converting 25% of all journeys in the city into autonomous trips by 2030. Officials view the initiative as a foundational step toward a fully integrated, multi-modal transport ecosystem that will include autonomous ground vehicles and future air mobility solutions. By introducing autonomous taxis into everyday urban transport, Dubai continues to position itself at the forefront of next-generation mobility, leveraging regulatory support, advanced infrastructure, and global partnerships to accelerate adoption at scale.

São Paulo, Brazil: On 10 November, 2025 Eve Air Mobility and Revo have announced the first real-world operational deployment of Eve’s Vector Urban Air Traffic Management (UATM) software during the 2025 São Paulo Grand Prix, marking a significant milestone in the advancement of urban air mobility infrastructure. The deployment will take place at Autódromo José Carlos Pace (Interlagos), where Revo will use Vector to manage high-volume helicopter operations during the Formula 1 race weekend. The software will support real-time coordination of aircraft movements, ground operations and vertiport activity in one of the most demanding urban aviation environments in Brazil. Vector’s Vertiport and Ground Operations module will be used for the live operation. The module enables scheduling, traffic optimization, aircraft sequencing and digital coordination between air and ground teams. According to Eve Air Mobility, this marks the first time the software will operate outside a test or simulated environment. Eve stated that the deployment represents a critical step in validating Vector’s readiness for large-scale commercial use. The company also confirmed that a Fleet Operations module, designed to support both helicopters and future eVTOL aircraft, is scheduled for release in 2026. The deployment builds on the long-term partnership between Eve and Revo. In June 2025, Revo signed a framework agreement with Eve covering up to 50 electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, positioning São Paulo as one of the first cities expected to see large-scale commercial eVTOL services. Eve said real-world operations at a high-traffic international sporting event will provide critical data to refine Vector’s performance, scalability and safety features ahead of future urban eVTOL networks.
