Dubai Crown Prince Meets Elon Musk to Discuss Global Tech Advancements

Elon Musk discussed advancing technology cooperation and the potential January 2026 launch of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving in the UAE, which could expand across the Middle East next year.

  • On Monday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk met Dubai Crown Prince HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed in Dubai, with images of the meeting shared online over the weekend.
  • Prompted by local queries, UAE-based analyst Ahmed Sharif Al Amiri asked Musk on X about FSD’s arrival, and Musk’s reply drew strong attention from X users and foreign media.
  • Auto Bild’s assessment concluded that FSD Supervised performed with near-continuous correct behaviour in Berlin, Germany, requiring only one intervention during testing, signaling system maturity.
  • For UAE drivers, FSD Supervised could enable hands-off highway driving, urban navigation, and parking in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, while Musk’s 'UAE rocks!' message boosted local enthusiasm.
  • Tesla’s Robotaxi program is set to expand testing beyond Austin with plans for five cities, while analysts including Mark Delaney of Goldman Sachs warn scaling speed is key to profitability.
