Dubai to launch autonomous vehicle trials; full self-driving car rollout scheduled for 2026

Dubai is gearing up to test self-driving vehicles. The Roads and Transport Authority partners with Pony.ai for this project. Pilot trials will begin later in 2025. A fully driverless commercial service is planned for 2026. This is part of Dubai's strategy for 25% autonomous trips by 2030. Pony.ai's advanced vehicles will use AI and sensors.
