Tensor, the Silicon Valley–based AI company, is set to debut its pioneering personal Robocar in Abu Dhabi at DRIFTx 2025. The event, a flagship initiative of the Smart and Autonomous Vehicle Industries (SAVI) cluster hosted by the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), will take place from November 10 to 12 at the Yas Marina Circuit, gathering global innovators to shape the future of mobility.
Abu Dhabi Takes Center Stage for Autonomous Tech
Tensor’s participation in DRIFTx marks a significant step in its mission to make autonomy safer, smarter, and accessible for personal ownership, highlighting a growing partnership with Abu Dhabi. DRIFTx is the Middle East’s leading platform for smart and autonomous transport technologies and is a key part of the inaugural Abu Dhabi Autonomous Week.
“Abu Dhabi represents a defining chapter in Tensor’s journey, a place where the future of autonomy meets purpose and leadership,” said Hugo Fozzati, Chief Business Officer at Tensor. “We are proud to take part at DRIFTx and contribute to the UAE’s conviction for autonomous and intelligent mobility. Tensor was built on a simple belief – that technology should serve humanity. Our goal is to give individuals control, privacy, and time, and empower every person to Own Their Autonomy.”
A New Era of Personal Autonomy
The Tensor Robocar is presented as the world’s first fully autonomous Level 4 vehicle designed for private ownership at scale. Built to prioritize safety, privacy, and intelligence, the vehicle is powered by the Tensor Foundation Model, a multimodal AI system trained on millions of real and simulated driving scenarios that allows it to perceive, reason, and act with human-like awareness.
Key features include over 100 integrated sensors, a Dual Mode design that lets users either drive or be driven, and on-board data sovereignty, ensuring all personal data remains encrypted within the vehicle. This combination of features aims to redefine trust, safety, and control in the autonomous mobility space.
Aligning with the UAE’s Vision 2030
Tensor’s presence in the capital directly supports the UAE’s national mobility strategy, which aims for 25 percent of all transport to be autonomous by 2030. The company’s collaborations with global giants like NVIDIA, Oracle, VinFast, and Marsh reinforce its mission to deliver reliable and human-centered autonomy, aligning perfectly with Abu Dhabi’s ambition to lead in next-generation mobility.
“DRIFTx is more than an exhibition. It is a glimpse into the future,” said Eric O’Dell, Chief Financial Officer at Tensor. “I view events like DRIFTx as more than showcases of technology — they are catalysts for sustainable economic opportunity. Abu Dhabi’s forward-thinking investment landscape makes it the ideal environment for building the future of personal autonomy.”
