Dubai is making a bold move toward futuristic transportation after announcing that its Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) will team with Elon Musk’s The Boring Company to develop the “Dubai Loop.” The collaboration was revealed during the recent World Governments Summit, an annual event that gathers global leaders to discuss future innovation.

The proposed Dubai Loop will span 17 kilometers underground and include 11 stations, aiming to transport over 20,000 passengers per hour. Operating with driverless electric vehicles, the system promises a rapid, congestion-free travel experience — similar to the Las Vegas Loop.

According to The Boring Company, the Dubai Loop will function as a point-to-point system, allowing passengers to reach their destination directly without intermittent stops. With speeds reaching up to 160 km per hour (100 mph), the system will offer a fast and efficient alternative to traditional public transport.

Elon Musk confirmed the partnership via video link at the World Governments Summit, describing the project as a way for travelers to move through Dubai like passing through a “wormhole” — eliminating long distances and traffic congestion.

Omar Sultan Al Olama, the UAE’s Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications, who led the discussion with Musk, highlighted the project’s potential impact. “The Loop project is going to cover Dubai’s most densely populated areas for people to go from point to point in a seamless manner. We hope to change people’s lives”.

During the discussion, Musk, who is also leading the Trump administration’s DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) emphasized the need for streamlined government processes and technological advancements in governance. He noted that efficient tunnel-based transport offers a safer and more practical alternative to emerging concepts like flying cars and UAVs.

Once operational, the Dubai Loop will connect key areas across the city, significantly cutting travel times and revolutionizing urban mobility.

Samsung has confirmed that One UI 7 will officially begin rolling out on April 7, bringing a fresh design and enhanced personalization options. This update is tailored for a more intuitive user experience, powered by AI-driven improvements. Initially, One UI 7 will be available in the U.S. on the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold6, and Z Flip6 starting April 10. The rollout will gradually expand to more Galaxy smartphones and tablets in the following weeks.

Refined Design And More Customization

With One UI 7, Samsung is introducing a cleaner, more cohesive look aimed at making customization easier and more intuitive. The home screen, widgets, and lock screen have been redesigned to streamline navigation and personalization.

One standout feature is Now Bar, which provides real-time updates directly on the lock screen. Whether checking workout progress during a run or seeing what’s playing on Galaxy Buds, users can access key information with just a swipe — no need to unlock the phone.

AI-Powered Enhancements For A Smoother Experience

Samsung has integrated AI into One UI 7 to make everyday interactions more seamless and efficient. Galaxy AI helps users complete tasks with minimal app switching, while AI Select suggests relevant actions based on selected content. For instance, users can swipe the Edge Panel and tap the AI Select icon while watching a video to instantly create a GIF.

Writing Assist — a favorite tool for Galaxy users — will now offer automatic text summarization and formatting. Meanwhile, Drawing Assist provides a creative boost by generating visuals from text prompts, images, or sketches. Another highlight, Audio Eraser, allows users to fine-tune video sound by isolating and adjusting different audio elements.

Finally, Samsung has added greater integration with Google Gemini. Users can simply activate Gemini and ask, “Find Italian restaurants with outdoor seating that are pet friendly” to get instant recommendations. Natural language search also makes adjusting settings easier — users can now tap the mic icon in Settings and say, My eyes feel tired, to receive suggestions like dimming the screen or enabling Eye Comfort Shield.

Device Compatibility And Rollout Schedule

The One UI 7 update will begin rolling out on April 7, with more devices receiving it in the weeks that follow. Compatible models include the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy S24 FE, Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Fold6, Z Flip6, Z Fold5, Z Flip5, and the Galaxy Tab S10 and Tab S9 series.
