Dubai is once again taking center stage in the global mobility revolution. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has officially opened registration for the Dubai World Congress for Self-Driving Transport 2025, scheduled to be held on September 24–25. Backed by the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, the event returns with the powerful theme: “Redefining Mobility: The Path to Autonomy.”

Now in its fourth edition, the Congress continues to be a landmark event for autonomous transport, showcasing Dubai’s relentless pursuit to become a world leader in smart, sustainable, and tech-driven mobility. This year, the event emphasizes integrated transport systems—a futuristic blend of multiple autonomous modes working seamlessly to serve passengers.

A Global Stage for Innovation

According to Ahmed Bahrozyan, CEO of the Public Transport Agency and Chair of the Organising Committee, the Congress has evolved into an international hub for dialogue and innovation.

“The previous three editions were a huge success,” Bahrozyan said. “We’ve seen participation from top-tier local and global players, thought leaders, investors, and innovators. It’s a key platform to explore the future of autonomous transport together.”

The Congress isn’t just about dialogue—it’s also a proving ground. This year’s event will spotlight the winners of the Dubai World Challenge for Self-Driving Transport 2024, a high-stakes competition offering a $3 million prize to the consortium with the most groundbreaking solution in autonomous mobility.

Participants in the challenge are developing cutting-edge, integrated systems—either as solo ventures or multi-entity collaborations—that can deliver unified autonomous services across various transport platforms.

Dubai’s Ambitious Vision: 25% Autonomous by 2030

The Congress is a vital piece of Dubai’s larger ambition: transforming 25% of the city’s total mobility network into autonomous systems by 2030. The RTA is already rolling out a series of pilot projects and smart initiatives aimed at bringing this vision to life.

From autonomous shuttles to AI-powered traffic systems, Dubai is paving the way for a future where transport is safer, smarter, and more efficient.
