The RAK Transport Authority and RAK Properties opened a dedicated autonomous vehicle test zone and signed 10 partnership agreements.
The Ras Al Khaimah Transport Authority (RAKTA), working with RAK Properties, has launched the emirate's autonomous mobility framework and an Autonomous Vehicle Testing Zone, at a ceremony attended by the Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, at the InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah Mina Al Arab.
The zone is a dedicated environment to test self driving vehicles for efficiency and safety, and RAKTA signed 10 partnership agreements with government bodies, technology companies, universities and research institutions.
The framework builds on the autonomous Robobus service on Al Marjan Island and expanded robotaxi testing in Al Dhait South, with the aim of attracting international companies and quality investment to the emirate.
