The RTA's new transport medium can accommodate six seated and
four standing commuters.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, attended
initial tests of the world’s first autonomous pods on Tuesday.
The project has been developed by the Roads and Transport Authority in
co-operation with Next Future Transportation.
The initial tests took place on the sidelines of the World Government Summit
in Dubai and was attended by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of
Dubai, Sheikh Mansour bin Mohammed, and Mohammad Al Gergawi, Minister of
Cabinet Affairs and the Future.
The autonomous pods are designed to travel short and medium distances in
dedicated lanes. They can be coupled or detached, depending on the
destination of riders, within seconds. They are fitted with cameras and
electromechanical technologies to perform the coupling and detaching
processes, which can be activated while in motion, reported state news
agency Wam.
Each pod measures almost 3m in length, and stands 2.8m high. They weigh in
at 1,500kg and they have the capacity to accommodate ten riders – six seated
and four standing. The autonomous pod is fitted with a battery that supports
three hours of operation, and can be fully charged in six hours. Its average
speed is 20kph.
“The pilot test of driverless units is directed by Sheikh Mohammed bin
Rashid, in the context of transforming Dubai into the smartest city
worldwide, said Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the RTA
executive directors board.
“It echoes the Dubai Autonomous Transport Strategy aimed at converting 25
per cent of mobility journeys in Dubai to autonomous transportation by 2030.
The RTA has signed an agreement with American Next Future Inc to develop
autonomous units named NX1 as part of the initial phase of Dubai Future
Accelerators. The prototypes of these units are being manufactured in Italy
and shipped to Dubai for trials, Mr Al Tayer said.
The autonomous pods have three protection systems in order to ensure full
control and avoid accidents.
