Dubai is making taxi rides even more convenient with the launch of 100% electric taxi fleet, which comes with a cool new feature – real-time AI translation. This means that no matter what language you speak, you’ll be able to chat with your driver without any language barriers. Sounds like a great initiative, considering the growing number of tourists. In 2024 alone, the city welcomed 18.72 million visitors, setting a new record.
The new fleet of taxis is a collaboration between Dubai Taxi Company and Kia. The vehicles come with a smart AI translation tool that’s built right into the taxi’s meter and infotainment system. This system doesn’t just help you communicate with your driver; it also manages all your trip details, shows fare visibility, and handles digital payments.
Plus, it connects wirelessly to ride-hailing apps like Bolt, so there’s no need for extra devices in the car.
The AI translation works seamlessly – the passenger can speak in any language, and the system will detect the voice and translate it for the driver in real time.
This is part of a broader plan to improve Dubai’s taxi service, making it more accessible, modern, and customer-friendly. It’s a great move for international visitors and locals, ensuring smooth rides for everyone, no matter where they come from.
If you’re fascinated by this AI-driven taxi innovation, Dubai has even more tech surprises in store. From AI traffic lights to AI passport control at DXB and smart parking solutions, the city is becoming a hub for groundbreaking technologies. Stay tuned for more updates and the latest innovations transforming daily life in Dubai!
