Lumo Launches Premium Autonomous Robotaxi Fleet in Abu Dhabi

A major leap in UAE’s smart mobility landscape took shape today as Lumo, the UAE-based autonomous mobility company, announced the launch of a premium robotaxi fleet for Abu Dhabi. The service, developed in partnership with Mercedes-Benz and global autonomous driving pioneer Momenta, marks the introduction of a scalable luxury autonomous taxi model built on a mass-production platform.

The new fleet is powered by Momenta’s L4 autonomous driving system and integrated into the latest Mercedes-Benz S-Class, positioning the UAE as one of the first markets to pair high-end automotive engineering with advanced autonomous technology. According to Lumo, the system is designed to operate safely across diverse urban conditions, making Abu Dhabi an ideal starting point for real-world deployment.

The commercial rollout is scheduled to begin next year, with plans already in place for expansion into additional international markets. The companies involved describe the initiative as a strategic move that merges global engineering expertise with the UAE’s rapidly growing innovation ecosystem.

The collaboration brings together Lumo’s local mobility operations, Mercedes-Benz’s long-established engineering strength, and Momenta’s AI-driven autonomous capabilities. The result is a robotaxi model aimed at delivering premium comfort, increased safety, and consistent performance—positioning the UAE at the forefront of next-generation transportation.
