Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) will collaborate with Cruise, a self-driving service company, Prashanthi Raman, Vice President of Global Government Affairs at Cruise, announced in a session themed ‘Robo Taxi Service in Dubai’.
“We are working with RTA to realise the Dubai Government’s vision and ambitious goals of transforming 25 percent of mobility journeys in Dubai into smart and driverless journeys by 2030. We are looking forward to a promising and prosperous future in transportation, especially in the field of autonomous mobility in Dubai,” said Raman.
During the session, Raman spoke about the safety features of Cruise vehicles and the challenges encountered during field tests in San Francisco and Dubai.
These challenges include adapting to different climatic conditions, navigating public and closed roads, and understanding driver behaviors in both cities.
She also highlighted the performance of the autonomous Cruise Bolt vehicle in San Francisco and the infrastructure requirements for autonomous vehicles in Dubai.
Raman further highlighted the environmental benefits of Cruise Bolt vehicles, and said: “Every mile covered during daily commutes in Cruise Bolt vehicles will be a green mile, as they are autonomous vehicles fueled entirely by clean, electric energy.”
