Mercedes-Benz has officially entered the robotaxi market, introducing autonomous S-Class vehicles. The luxury automaker, in partnership with Chinese software partner Momenta, is launching a driverless shuttle service aimed at redefining automated mobility solutions. The initiative reflects Mercedes’ ambition to lead the future of urban mobility while offering high-end self-driving cars to both commercial and private customers.
The first test cars are hitting the road in Abu Dhabi, with the fleet operated by local mobility provider Lumo. These self-driving S-Class vehicles feature Level 4 autonomy, allowing automated driving under certain conditions without human intervention. Mercedes is also exploring a robotaxi ecosystem powered by the Nvidia autonomous driving platform, ensuring safety and reliability for passengers. The technically updated version of the S-Class enhances comfort, luxury, and intelligent navigation, setting a benchmark among luxury autonomous vehicles.
Mercedes’ entry into robotaxi services demonstrates its commitment to innovation. The self-driving option for private customers is also available in the S-Class and its electric counterpart, the EQS. This autonomous vehicle test phase underscores the brand’s dedication to precision, performance, and passenger safety.
By combining advanced autonomous taxi technology, luxury, and strategic partnerships, Mercedes is poised to influence the global robotaxi landscape. For more insights on self-driving innovation, check Mercedes’ official autonomous vehicle technology page.
