Autogo Launches RoboTaxi Trials in Abu Dhabi!

The future of transportation is taking shape in Abu Dhabi as Autogo, a UAE-based autonomous mobility solutions company under Kintsugi Holding, announces the launch of its RoboTaxi service trials. This initiative marks a significant milestone in the emirate’s journey toward smart, sustainable mobility, with full-scale operations planned by 2026.

A Next-Generation Autonomous Ride-Hailing Solution.

At the heart of this transformation is the 6th-generation RT6 RoboTaxi, a vehicle specifically designed for autonomous ride-hailing. Engineered for a safer, smarter, and more comfortable passenger experience, the RT6 embodies cutting-edge technology and advanced AI-driven systems to ensure precise and consistent driving in real-world environments.

Partnership with Abu Dhabi’s Integrated Transport Centre.

To align with local transport strategies, regulatory frameworks, and infrastructure requirements, the operational trials are being conducted in coordination with Abu Dhabi’s Integrated Transport Centre (ITC). This step is part of the emirate’s larger vision to enhance smart mobility and integrate sustainable, high-tech transportation solutions into the city’s infrastructure.

Sustainability & Safety: The Core Benefits of RoboTaxi?

Beyond its autonomous capabilities, the RoboTaxi is a fully electric vehicle, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional transportation. It contributes to lowering emissions, reducing traffic congestion, and enhancing road safety by minimizing human driving errors.

With its AI-driven technology, the RoboTaxi fleet ensures real-time responsiveness to surrounding conditions, offering a seamless and efficient urban mobility solution.

Strategic Partnership with Apollo Go.

This ambitious project is powered by a strategic partnership with Apollo Go, the autonomous mobility arm of Baidu, one of the world’s leading companies in large-scale self-driving transportation. Apollo Go has established itself as a global leader in autonomous ride-hailing, with its fleets having accumulated over 150 million kilometers of autonomous driving and over 10 million ride orders by March 2025.

The Vision for Abu Dhabi’s Smart Mobility Future.

Sean Teo, Managing Director of Kintsugi Holding, emphasized the transformational impact of RoboTaxis in Abu Dhabi.

“The launch of RoboTaxi trials in Abu Dhabi marks the beginning of a large-scale transformation in urban mobility. RoboTaxis serve two key goals — enhancing road safety and achieving more sustainable transportation.”

He further highlighted that Autogo and Apollo Go will work closely to test performance in real-world conditions, engage with the public, and scale up operations across Abu Dhabi by 2026.

A Step Toward a Smarter, Greener City!

As Abu Dhabi continues its push toward next-generation mobility, the introduction of Autogo’s RoboTaxi trials signifies a major step toward a more sustainable, efficient, and tech-driven future. With the backing of ITC and Apollo Go, this initiative positions the UAE as a leader in autonomous transportation, reinforcing its commitment to smart city innovations and environmentally friendly mobility solutions.
