Dubai, UAE, has opened Dubai Mobility Labs, a testing center for autonomous vehicles in Dubai Silicon Oasis.
The center was created by Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority jointly with the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority.
Autonomous vehicles will be assessed in 248 scenarios, including their ability to respond to challenging road and weather conditions.
German company Dekra was appointed as the operator of Dubai Mobility Labs for the first three years.
In September 2025, Dubai also announced the creation of a 15-square-kilometer testing zone in Festival City and Dubai Creek Harbour for autonomous taxis, delivery services and other service vehicles.
