Dubai – Mubasher: The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and the Sustainable City Project on Monday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to utilise autonomous vehicles (AVs) for transportation within the facilities of the project.
As part of Dubai Government’s strategy to transfer 25% of the public transportation in the emirate to AVs by 2030, the MoU will come into effect as of February 2018, the RTA stated.
"The MoU underscores the RTA's commitment to engage in partnerships with the public and private sectors to realise its strategic, smart mobility objectives,” said Abdullah Yousef Al Ali, CEO of Licensing Agency and deputy chairman of Autonomous Vehicles Committee at the RTA.
