A driverless car that can carry up to ten passengers is being tested in Dubai.
The vehicle is undergoing a trial run during the three-day 2nd Mena Transport Congress & Exhibition 2016, and will take exhibitors and visitors between the venues on pre-programmed routes said Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).
The vehicle travels on virtual routes, which can easily be reset to accommodate sudden changes as required. It’s fitted with all safety requisites & controls specifying its planned route, and the sensor system as well as the intelligent system of the vehicle enable coping with any obstacles encountered en route to avoid collision, RTA said.
The driverless cars are expected to be rolled out across key touristic areas in Dubai and at the Expo 2020 site if the trials are successful.
The vehicle has been created by EasyMile / Omnix Company.
