dubai used car buyers to get instant access to accident history

Prospective second-hand car buyers in Dubai will soon be able to check a vehicle’s accident history in real-time, according to an announcement by the emirate’s police force. Law enforcement officials recently explained that a new system will use artificial intelligence (AI) to help buyers gain access to valuable data about crashes a car has been involved in, as well as its current mechanical condition.

Dubai Police have also announced the integration of AI into 29 administrative operations across multiple departments, with minor accidents also set to be analyzed and logged by AI-powered algorithms.

Currently, Dubai drivers submit accident details for manual review by a police officer before a report is created. The new technology will instead use AI to analyze accident details and issue reports to both parties involved in minor traffic incidents.

It’s believed that the new tech could reduce accident report processing times from seven hours to four, and the service will soon be available on the Dubai Police app and through its web portal.

Major-General Khalid Nasser Alrazooqi, director of Dubai Police’s AI department, said the force has updated its app to offer 70 services in seven languages. Local police officers even have a virtual team member called Amna, who holds the rank of first lieutenant and is able to answer queries in Arabic and English. In 2023, Amna had already completed 20,000 conversations with the public.

As Dubai continues to deploy smart technology to improve its infrastructure, law enforcement is becoming increasingly automated. Since the beginning of this year, an AI-powered Smart Police Station (SPS) has operated without human officers, receiving 127,515 visitors and processing 36,376 transactions.

dirham-backed stablecoin ddsc enters live phase in uae

The UAE has cleared the launch of DDSC, a dirham-backed stablecoin now entering live operation after approval from the Central Bank. The move pushes the project beyond its pilot phase and into the country’s regulated financial system.

The token is backed by a consortium led by IHC, Sirius International Holding and First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), framing it as an institutional instrument rather than a consumer crypto product. DDSC was first announced in April 2025, but regulatory clearance now allows deployment and integration across approved channels.

DDSC runs on ADI Chain, a Layer 2 blockchain built by the Abu Dhabi-based ADI Foundation. The infrastructure is designed for governance and performance requirements expected by large institutions, linking blockchain settlement with existing compliance and oversight frameworks.

The focus is practical, targeting treasury settlements, high-value payments, trade and supply-chain transactions, and programmable financial flows for regulated entities. FAB plans to offer access to the token through approved platforms for its clients, keeping the rollout inside controlled banking environments.

“DDSC marks a defining milestone in the UAE’s digital finance journey,” said Syed Basar Shueb, CEO of IHC. “With the Central Bank’s approval and our transition into live operation, we are delivering trusted, institutional-grade infrastructure that strengthens resilience, accelerates innovation, and expands what is possible in regulated digital payments”.

FAB says the project reflects how stablecoins can sit within traditional finance when risk controls are built in from the outset. “This milestone underscores that stablecoins can be integrated responsibly into the financial system when built to meet rigorous regulatory and risk requirements,” said Futoon Hamdan AlMazrouei, Group Head of Personal, Business, Wealth and Privileged Client Banking Group at FAB.

The launch reinforces the UAE’s strategy of pushing digital finance through regulation instead of open-ended crypto experimentation. Stablecoins in this model are positioned less as trading assets and more as programmable extensions of national currency, aimed at institutional scale and government use cases.
