The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is witnessing an unprecedented surge in demand for autonomous vehicles, significantly outpacing the existing operational capacity. Hasan Al Hosani, CEO of Smart Solutions, Space42, revealed this trend during a panel discussion at the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Week 2025. Since their initial deployment between late 2020 and 2021, autonomous taxis have completed over 600,000 kilometers in full four-mode operation, with more than 20,000 trips successfully executed. However, the current demand is three times the operational capacity, indicating a strong public embrace of this cutting-edge technology. Al Hosani emphasized the public’s enthusiasm for exploring hands-free and person-free transportation solutions.
