This will allow real-world operations to begin on a limited scale, giving time to monitor performance and customer feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The full rollout will then expand in phases. Over the following three years, Baidu aims to grow the robotaxi fleet in the UAE to <strong>1,000<\/strong> vehicles.

Baidu\u2019s autonomous cars have already driven over 150 million kilometres and completed more than 10 million trips worldwide, proving their reliability and readiness for large-scale use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Official Launch of Driverless Taxi Operations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, officially launched the operations of fully autonomous RT6 taxis developed by Baidu Apollo Go. He took a ride in the vehicle to the World Governments Summit at Madinat Jumeirah, marking a key milestone ahead of the public launch in Q1 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baidu also inaugurated its first operations centre outside China at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/property\/area-overview-dubai-science-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dubai Science Park<\/a>, a 2,000-square-metre hub for managing, monitoring and maintaining the autonomous fleet.
