A plethora of transformative urban mobility innovations were showcased at GITEX GLOBAL 2024, with a spotlight on autonomous vehicles, eVTOLs, robotic solutions, and next-gen charging systems

DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Future mobility was a major topic of discussion, at GITEX GLOBAL 2024, the world’s largest tech and startup event, as global tech leaders and government entities displayed pioneering innovations that sparked optimism for the next frontier of urban mobility.

With 75% of automakers planning to boost AI investments in 2024 and the automation industry shifting from traditional original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to AI-enabled electronics, tens of thousands of visitors, speakers, and exhibitors gathered to explore evolving strategies for the global auto-tech industry, while addressing the challenges of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircrafts and urban air mobility (UAM) ecosystems.

In line with the theme “Global Collaboration to Forge a Future AI Economy,” GITEX GLOBAL transformed into a futuristic mobility hub, where global innovators unveiled groundbreaking solutions that offered a glimpse into the future of travel and mobility services, showcasing how these advancements will reshape the way we move.

RTA Introduces Next-Gen Payment Systems Set to Transform User Experiences 

Among the standout showcases, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), in line with its broader goal of creating a connected and efficient city, unveiled various initiatives, including a novel technology for its “nol card” services.

Blending applied AI with sustainability goals to encourage greater use of public transportation and reduce reliance on private cars, the entity aims to transition from card-based ticketing to a more innovative, palm-based payment system by 2026.

Commenting on plans for the new technology, Salahaldeen AlMarzooqi, Director of Automated Collection System (ACS) at RTA, said: “As part of the RTA AI strategy, we are introducing one of our most important initiatives, which is the pay-by-palm system. After additional rounds of testing to ensure the technology meets our high-quality standards, it will be rolled out to the market, allowing customers to register their palm and link it directly to their nol account. Then, they simply need to wave their hand to travel by the metro or tram.”

He added: “nol is currently accepted as a payment solution for some retailers and merchants, such as petrol stations, grocery stores, and taxis. As part of our long-term roll out plan, we are working with them to introduce the pay-by-palm system to ensure a seamless customer journey, foster a cashless payment culture, and encourage people to shift from a car-oriented lifestyle to using public transportation.”

All eyes are on flying vehicles and eco-friendly concept cars

With the autonomous vehicle market set to hit $13.6 trillion by 2030, the e& pavilion presented game-changing innovations, spotlighting its global collaborations with top auto tech companies from across the globe.

One of the innovations that attracted huge crowds was the Airscooter by Zapata, an advanced personal flying machine, setting new standards in personal aviation, allowing anyone to become a pilot. Equipped with a patented hybrid-electric propulsion system, the machine can reach a top speed of 63 mph and features a compact design, making it suitable for urban environments, and its sustainable fuel usage aligns with the global push for eco-friendly transportation solutions.   

Another innovation that captivated visitors was Quintessenza, an eco-friendly concept car from Turin-based auto manufacturer, Italdesign. The car features pioneering technical components, incorporating sustainable materials such as from Nike shoes, cotton textiles, and recycled water bottles.

Parkie, the world’s first autonomous driving-based parking robot (AMR), was another remarkable innovation on display at the e& pavilion at GITEX GLOBAL. It is set to revolutionize parking lots by leveraging parent company, HL Mando’s, top-of-the-line autonomous driving technology and decades of vehicle manufacturing expertise to increase up to 30% of available parking space by minimising parking time and reducing the inconvenience caused by inadequate driving skills.

Conversations turn to electric vehicles and the emergence of the low altitude economy
