Dubai Begins Digital Mappings of Streets For Driverless Cars

Dubai Municipality has begun a digital mapping project to prepare the streets for driverless cars.

The goal is to have a "highly precise digital map" that a vehicle's AI computer can follow, without the need for a person behind the wheel.

"The project targets preparing and designing maps as per the best standards and international practices," the authority said.

"These maps are set to be utilised by businesses offering specialised solutions for autonomous vehicles, which are perceived to constitute most of Dubai’s transportation in the future."

Dubai's government plans to have driverless taxis by 2023, and it is set to have 25 per cent of journeys would be driverless by 2030.
