This milestone, say published reports, represents a significant addition to Abu Dhabi’s track record of achievements in this crucial sector, as it continues to consolidate its position as a global hub for transportation solutions and smart and autonomous vehicles, utilising its advanced infrastructure in the field of AI technologies and smart and autonomous vehicles.
The position, they say, is underpinned by the Smart and Autonomous Vehicles Industries (SAVI) cluster at Masdar City, which contributes to advancing progress and innovation in this field, further consolidating the Emirate’s leading position as a friendly and enabling city for smart and sustainable transportation sector.

Held at the Advanced Mobility Hub in collaboration with Emirates Falcons Aviation, the Abu Dhabi event unveiled MLG’s diverse array of Autonomous Aerial Vehicles (AAVs), showcasing their versatility and innovation in the field of aviation.
The highlight of the event, held from April 24 to May 1, was the debut flight of a groundbreaking passenger-carrying drone, marking a historic moment as the first-ever eVTOL flying event in Al Ain City.
In the process, Abu Dhabi continued its efforts to shape the future of smart and sustainable mobility, providing an inspiring model globally by nurturing strategic partnerships, attracting industry-leading companies and innovators from around the world.
