### 2024 vision update

Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority in Dubai has reaffirmed its aim to make a quarter of transport services self-driving by 2030.

The plan is for Dubai to eventually have 4,000 driverless taxis on its roads which is believed to ease traffic, cut emissions and lead to fewer accidents.
