Dubai is taking a major leap toward next-generation mobility with the imminent launch of fully autonomous ride-hailing services in the city through a high-profile partnership between Baidu’s Apollo Go autonomous vehicle platform and Uber. This cutting-edge mobility option, supported by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), is set to begin operations in Dubai’s Jumeirah area soon, making it one of the world’s first cities to offer robotaxi rides at scale via a mainstream app.
