Robo.ai has introduced its groundbreaking smart vehicle prototype, Roboy339, featuring a natively integrated and regulated digital wallet tied to the car’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This innovation was unveiled in partnership with Abu Dhabi-based custodian Changer.ae during the TOKEN2049 event on October 3.
The Roboy339 prototype demonstrates how a car can function as a self-sustaining financial entity. Through its compliant digital wallet, secured by Changer.ae’s ADGM-regulated custody, the vehicle is capable of executing real-time autonomous payments. These include settling toll fees, paying for charging sessions, financing its maintenance, and even handling lease obligations. The wallet can also accept authorized income, enabling the vehicle to offset operational costs within a closed-loop economy.
Beyond the prototype, Robo.ai and Changer.ae envision scaling this framework to broader applications in the machine economy. Potential integrations include eVTOL aircraft, unmanned logistics vehicles, and autonomous taxis, allowing machines to carry digital identities and participate directly in financial markets.
The initiative is supported by significant investment, following Robo.ai’s recent $300 million funding from U.S.-based Burkhan Capital LLC. With this milestone, Robo.ai positions itself at the forefront of merging smart mobility with digital finance, offering a blueprint for a future where machines act as independent economic agents.
