Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, praised the efforts of Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority, RTA, in carrying out a series of projects related to Artificial Intelligence, AI, autonomous mobility, and shared mobility/transport.
He also commended the RTA's initiatives aimed at facilitating the mobility of public transport riders to their final destinations.
Sheikh Hamdan made these remarks during a visit to the Metro Depot at Al Rashidiya, where he was received by Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the RTA. Sheikh Hamdan inspected two models of Dubai Sky pods - a futuristic mobility system in the Dubai Emirate. Characterised by using an area of land that is 100 times less than conventional means of the same capacity, the pods' power efficiency is five times less than electric vehicles and the system requires infrastructure, which is ten times less than conventional transit systems of the same capacity.
