Dubai: Dubai Taxi Company will launch its first autonomous ride next month, a significant step in the emirate’s efforts towards adopting smart mobility and AI-driven transport, its chief executive said.
The announcement came as the company’s board recommended final dividends of Dh142 million for the second half of the year, equivalent to 5.68 fils per share.
Combined with interim dividends of Dh160.7 million distributed in August 2025, total payouts for the 2025 financial year will reach Dh302.7 million, or 12.11 fils per share, representing a 7.5 per cent increase compared with 2024.
Mansoor Al Falasi, chief executive of Dubai Taxi Company, said the autonomous ride would be a milestone in the group’s operational transformation and wider adoption of artificial intelligence.
He added that the company plans to expand its services to other emirates, including Abu Dhabi, Ajman and Sharjah, in phases throughout 2026. More
