The goal is to have fully autonomous vehicles on the roads by 2028. The RTA has partnered with several companies to develop the self-driving taxi technology. These companies include Waymo, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., and Argo AI, a joint venture between Ford and Volkswagen. The self-driving taxi technology will be integrated into the RTA’s existing public transportation system, allowing passengers to hail a self-driving taxi using the RTA’s mobile app. To ensure the safety of passengers, the RTA has implemented a range of measures, including:

  • Regular vehicle maintenance and inspections
  • Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) such as lane departure warning and blind spot detection
  • A robust cybersecurity system to protect against hacking attempts
  • A comprehensive training program for safety drivers

    • The RTA has also established a dedicated team to oversee the development and deployment of the self-driving taxi technology.
