AI-Powered Smart Taxi Unveiled at Abu Dhabi Smart City Summit

Juma Al Majid Est., the exclusive distributor of Hyundai vehicles in the UAE, proudly announced its successful collaboration as the Exclusive Car Partner at the Abu Dhabi Smart City Summit, held at the Conrad Hotel on October 31 and November 1. This prestigious event featured the debut of the cutting-edge Hyundai Sonata Smart Taxi.

The launch of the Hyundai Sonata Smart Taxi in Abu Dhabi is in alignment with the visionary aspirations of His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, who aims to establish a world-leading Smart & Autonomous Vehicle Industries (SAVI) cluster within Abu Dhabi.

The Hyundai Sonata Smart Taxi is equipped with advanced AI technology and streaming services that significantly enhance safety, operational efficiency, and the overall passenger experience. Inside the vehicle, AI-equipped cameras meticulously monitor various factors, including the driver’s alertness, reaction time, and other safety parameters to ensure the well-being of all occupants.

Moreover, this sophisticated AI system records the journey of each passenger. If a customer inadvertently leaves personal belongings behind after a ride, the integrated AI cameras promptly detect these items and notify the relevant parties, ensuring both safety and convenience for passengers.

Suliman Al Zaben, Director of Hyundai, expressed, “Hyundai takes great pride in serving as the Exclusive Car Partner of the Abu Dhabi Smart City Summit, where we introduce the Sonata Smart Taxi, a testament to our unwavering commitment to pioneering innovative mobility solutions. With advanced AI technology, safety enhancements, and a strong emphasis on enhancing the customer experience, we are dedicated to elevating transportation for the people of the UAE. This partnership exemplifies how the public and private sectors can collaborate to shape a sustainable and forward-thinking future for all.”

The smart system closely monitors and analyzes driver behavior to proactively identify causes and conditions that may lead to errors, aiming to reduce the occurrence of accidents and risky practices. Technical equipment within the vehicle allows for the real-time collection of data for remote monitoring and the swift implementation of corrective measures.

The Control and Monitoring Panel facilitates effective oversight of driver performance, tracks operational efficiency metrics, and prevents any potential vehicle misuse. It presents clear, legible, and diverse visual data through single and multiple specialized screens, delivering comprehensive, interactive insights for swift decision-making.

Additionally, the Hyundai Sonata Smart Taxi features a valuable lost and found function that identifies items inadvertently left behind by passengers. It promptly sends pictures and data to the control center, enabling the driver to return these items to their rightful owners before disembarkation.

Juma Al Majid Est.’s partnership with the Abu Dhabi Smart City Summit represents another significant milestone in its ongoing efforts to provide advanced mobility solutions that align with the UAE’s visionary future.
