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.

A crash involving a Zoox robotaxi on the Las Vegas Strip is drawing renewed attention to how driverless vehicles detect hazards and respond when something unexpected happens on the road.
The Zoox vehicle and another car were involved in a crash on the Strip.
UNLV professor Brendan Morris, who studies autonomous vehicles, said a crash by itself does not explain what went wrong.
At the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Four Seasons, remnants of an impact could still be seen, though the Zoox robotaxi involved appeared to have little to no visible damage.
“Yeah, what's nice about these autonomous vehicles is that they are collecting data from all around at all times,” Morris said.

Dubai on Sunday launched a cutting-edge testing centre, where future fleets of autonomous vehicles will be geared up for the demands of the emirate's busy road network.
Safety drive Dubai Mobility Labs provides a controlled environment to simulate a wide variety of traffic scenarios, alongside real-world testing on public roads extending from Dubai Silicon Oasis to Al Qudra.
Self-driving vehicles will be assessed under diverse operating conditions, examining their ability to respond to challenging traffic and weather across 248 test scenarios.
The Dubai Mobility Labs has already held successful trials of autonomous driving technology and vehicles developed by global companies, including WeRide, Pony.ai and Tesla.
The RTA has appointed Dekra – a global leader in automotive testing and inspections, founded in Germany – to run Dubai Mobility Labs over its first three years.

At the same time, leading players including Waymo, Apollo Go, Pony.ai and WeRide have already launched paid services in several cities.
The trade-offs of two-seat layout, smaller battery and removal of traditional driving area all affect the overall vehicle cost.
At present, the leading players in the track are still Baidu's Apollo Go, Pony.ai and WeRide.
If only the vehicle cost is reduced without cutting the operation cost at the same time, the cost advantage will still be limited.

That is the sound I make any time I see a robotaxi wending its way along the streets of San Diego or on news footage of driverless vehicles causing a traffic cluster headache in the Bay Area.
It is the same sound I made when ride-share operators first came on the scene.
Locally, some San Diego cabbies flocked to join the ride-share game while others without a vehicle at their disposal were left on the side of the road.
While driverless taxis like Waymo are not in Chula Vista or National City, you can hear the electric passenger vehicles rumbling toward South County.
Already, Uber is reportedly laying off 10 percent of its workforce in anticipation of the hit they’ll take from robotaxis.

Waymo's driverless robotaxis were involved in 68 percent fewer crashes and 81 percent fewer injury crashes than human drivers, an independent study from IIHS shows.
In July, it published a study on Waymo's driverless robotaxis.
The researchers compared Waymo's cars with human drivers in four cities: San Francisco, Phoenix, Los Angeles and Austin.
Waymo's cars traveled about 50 million driverless miles during the study period.
Per mile traveled, Waymo's cars were involved in 68 percent fewer crashes.

“We’re at the very beginning stages,” Tennessee Ph.D. student Tyson Beach said.
The Tennessee students already have a game plan in mind.
“We will follow the specific requirements, but then we want to go above and beyond, and I think we can do that by providing something related to autonomy,” Tennessee Ph.D. student Skylar Sims said.

Late June, defense-tech company Overland AI announced it had secured a roughly $20 million dollar production contract with the U.S. Marine Corps for autonomous unmanned ground vehicles, or AUGVs, with delivery expected in early 2027.
The Marine Corps tells FOX the goal is to use the vehicles for missions such as moving ammunition and supplies while reducing risk to Marines.
Overland AI argues while aerial drones and other unmanned systems have become increasingly important on the battlefield, "wars are still won on the ground."
Describing the growing role of unmanned or autonomous ground vehicles, Overland AI Chief of Staff Chris Merz pointed to Ukraine, where he says the technology is being used more and more for combat.
So you cannot necessarily rely on distant comms to complete your mission," Okopal explained.

A robotics company targeting the future of self-driving industrial vehicles has formed a new partnership to push its operations forward.
Autonomous Solutions Inc. is forming a new joint venture with Tokyo-headquartered SoftBank Group Corp. to help the company develop and commercialize autonomous construction equipment for large infrastructure projects, according to a release.
SoftBank is also investing $225M in Utah-based ASI, whose products allow construction firms to deploy autonomous vehicles for tasks like on-site excavation and haulage.
The firm is the latest in a string of construction tech companies to receive financial backing in recent years, with billions of dollars going into construction robotics and AI-powered tech each year, Construction Dive reported.
ASI isn’t the first construction tech company that SoftBank has thrown its weight behind.

SoftBank Group has invested $225 million into Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (ASI), a Utah company whose software makes work vehicles drive themselves.
ASI's main product is Mobius, software that runs fleets of self-driving work vehicles.
The company says it works with machines from any major maker, so builders can automate the mixed equipment they already own.
The other half of the deal: SoftBank is separately funding a joint venture focused on civil construction and moving materials on site.
It also marks SoftBank's second bet on autonomous heavy machinery in months — in August, it led a $200 million round for Gravis Robotics, a Swiss startup that fits excavators with self-driving software.

The Department for Transport and Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV) consultation on the statement of safety principles closed recently.
The consultation sought views on the draft statement of safety principles (SoSP) for self-driving vehicles in Great Britain.
Road safety for all In the consultation paper, CCAV set out 10 road safety principles and sought views on each principle, as well as feedback on the proposed wording.
Self-driving vehicles should improve road safety in Great Britain for all.
This includes seeking to minimise risk to its occupants and other road users and avoiding any disproportionate increase in risk to any group of road users.

Autonomous vehicles have come a long way from pure science fiction to the real world, in the air, and in space.
A Ph.D. student at Clemson University is tackling that issue and has received recognition for his work with one of the most highly competitive graduate fellowships in the country.
Advertisement Smarter, Safer, And Harder To Hack Sanson’s research focuses on the algorithms that enable autonomous systems to perceive and make decisions about their environment.
From off-road autonomous vehicles to satellites in space, all of these systems must be completely immune to malicious interference in the digital space.
“They could help prevent a cyberattack if someone tries to take control of a vehicle, and more broadly, help make autonomous vehicles safer and better able to serve people.”

A simple pattern of black-and-white stripes might be enough to trick an autonomous vehicle into misjudging how far away an obstacle is.
New research from the University of Florida (UF) has exposed this overlooked weakness in how self-driving cars perceive depth.
How stereo cameras get confused The study zeroes in on autonomous systems that rely on stereo cameras.
Rampazzi’s team worked alongside two universities in Japan, testing a range of sensors, algorithms, and AI models.
That pattern fooled the autonomous vehicle’s perception system into thinking part of the car ahead was closer than it was.
