In the initial phase, the vehicles will operate with a safety driver on board, paving the way for the full-scale commercial rollout of driverless services in 2026. Field preparations for the pilot phase are already underway, led by Uber and WeRide, with strategic support and supervision from RTA,” the Authority announced.
