The Dubai Municipality has launched a project to design “highly precise” digital maps for driverless vehicles. Launched by the civic body’s Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Centre, the project will be used by businesses offering solutions for autonomous vehicles.
A photo shared by the municipality shows a 4WD equipped with cameras that will be used to prepare the digital maps. These maps would be designed “as per the best standards and international practices”, said the municipality.
Precise maps are required for driverless vehicles to navigate streets.
