They Look The Same! DRIVERLESS Taxis Are Being Launched In Dubai Today
Autonomous cars, trains and heli-taxis…the talk of driverless transportation has been huge in Dubai in recent years and it looks like it’s becoming a reality sooner than we thought.
Part of Dubai’s goal to reach 25% autonomous public transport by 2030, a driverless taxi will be trialled at Gitex Tech Week today.
The car will run on test routes in Dubai Silicon Oasis and comes equipped with cameras and sensors to control the vehicle and avoid collisions.
