The Museum of the Future and Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) will showcase future mobility solutions, from personal jet packs to self-driving cars.
Museum visitors will be able to see jetpacks, medical drones, food delivery robots, electric bikes, electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, and more.
Some of the vehicle prototypes use artificial intelligence, machine learning, and geospatial data. The exhibition will also display new ideas for green, sustainable, and environmentally friendly mass transport services being presented worldwide and research and development centres around the world.
“The rapid technological and industrial changes brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, especially in the field of autonomous transportation, will reshape the future of mobility, provide new means of transportation, and develop current means of transportation in line with future trends. The demand for mass passenger transport and shared mobility is expected to increase,” said Mattar Mohammed Al Tayer, Director-General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority, (RTA), Commissioner-General for the Infrastructure, Urban Planning and Wellbeing Pillar in Dubai, said:
The agreement between the Museum of the Future and Dubai’s RTA underscores the museum’s efforts to offer an open laboratory to promote creativity, innovation and develop ideas to address challenges across healthcare, education, smart cities, energy and transport. Through this strategy, the museum aims to empower people and businesses everywhere to design future cities and enhance Dubai’s position as a city of the future.
His Excellency Khalfan Belhoul, CEO of the Dubai Future Foundation (DFF), said: “As one of the world’s smartest cities, our strategic partnership with Dubai’s RTA will accelerate the adoption of next-generation future mobility solutions and cement Dubai’s global position as a hub for new technologies. We are delighted to deepen our partnership with RTA, a true pioneer in developing integrated transport ecosystems, and look forward to showcasing exciting technologies for the first time in Dubai that will shape the future of cities and communities everywhere.”
At Tomorrow, Today exhibition, Dubai’s RTA will showcase a wireless charging system for electric vehicles and buses in motion using Shaped Magnetic Field In Resonance (SMFIR) technology, which was tested in Dubai Silicon Oasis. This network could be installed under roads to provide smart wireless charging of electric vehicles as they drive through the city.
Tomorrow, Today exhibition is an ever-evolving showcase of innovations that could change our world. Created in collaboration with public and private partners from around the world, the exhibition explores how designers, researchers and corporations are responding today to our most urgent challenges.
