Dubai - "RTA is seeking to familiarise the public with driverless vehicles technology and the Dubai Driverless Mobility Strategy,"
"The trial run of the autonomous vehicle has started in the Sustainable City following three stages of successful test runs. The new phase will continue until the end of this September. Through these trials, the RTA is seeking to familiarise the public with driverless vehicles technology and the Dubai Driverless Mobility Strategy," said Ahmed Bahrozyan, CEO of RTA's Public Transport Agency and Chairman of Smart and Sustainable Transport Committee.

The smart vehicle, which was manufactured by EasyMile Company, can accommodate eight riders. It travels on short distances on pre-programmed routes under multi-user environments. It moves on virtual tracks that can be configured easily to make abrupt changes to meet demand. The vehicle is fitted with all safety requisites and controls of the pre-planned routes, along with sensors and smart monitoring systems to cope with any obstacles and avoid a collision.
"The latest trial run is part of the MoU signed recently with Diamond Developers Company, the developer of the Sustainable City project. It is part of RTA's efforts to forge agreements with public and private entities towards making the smart mobility strategy a ground reality," added Bahrozyan.
Transportation is one of the key sectors generating gas emissions contributing to the global warming.
Faris Saeed, CEO of Diamond Developers Company, said: "The introduction of driverless vehicles in Sustainable City is a future step towards using the smartest public transport means."
