Dubai Crown Prince and Chairman of the Executive Council, HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, praised the efforts of Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in carrying out a series of projects related to artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous mobility, and shared mobility/transport. He also commended RTA’s initiatives aimed at facilitating the mobility of public transport riders to their final destinations (last mile).

HH made these remarks during a visit to the Metro Depot at Al Rashidiya, where he was received by HE Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the RTA. HH inspected two models of Dubai Sky pods; a futuristic mobility system in Dubai Emirate. It is characterised by using an area of land that is 100 times less than conventional means of the same capacity. Its power efficiency is five times less than electric vehicles and the system requires infrastructure, which is ten times less than conventional transit systems of the same capacity.
