According to gulfnews.com, Abu Dhabi took a significant step towards the future of transportation this week with the launch of Level 4 autonomous vehicles. The city made history by becoming the first destination in the Middle East and North Africa to commence full commercial operations of driverless vehicles. Residents of Abu Dhabi can now benefit from fully driverless rides provided by the Vride and Autogo-K2 robotaxis. These vehicles operate solely with their advanced technology, without a human safety operator onboard.
The Integrated Transport Center (ITC) has greenlit these rides, and this operation is not just a trial but a reality for the public. Vride and Autogo-K2, as the two main operators, obtained commercial licenses after passing stringent safety checks and completing thousands of kilometers of testing in real traffic conditions.
Users can expect an exciting and innovative experience, as the robotaxis continue to operate in Al Maryah Island and other areas of Abu Dhabi. With recent advancements, it seems that Abu Dhabi is on the path to becoming a smart transportation hub. This transformation not only facilitates travel but could also lead to reduced traffic and pollution.
A bright future awaits the residents of this city. For more images and additional information, please refer to the source of the news.
