The next time you hail a taxi, don't be surprised if you find no one driving it.
The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) will begin testing an electric driverless taxi at a residential area in Dubai Silicon Oasis in December onwards.
The trial phase will run for three months, and after this period the RTA will decide where and when this can be rolled out in other parts of Dubai, a senior RTA official told Khaleej Times on the sidelines of the 38th edition of Gitex Technology Week, which kicked off on Sunday at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
Khaled Al Awadhi, director of RTA's Automated Fare Collections Systems Department, said: "At the moment, there is only one autonomous taxi available that will initially run on a preset, dedicated route at Dubai Silicon Oasis."
"After the three-month trial phase, we will gather all the information and evaluate how we can roll-out driverless taxis in other areas of the city," he added.
