Participants must ensure that their solution includes integration with at least two of the listed modes of transportation.
The Roads and Transport Authority has announced the start of registration for the 4th Dubai World Challenge for Self-Driving Transport 2025, with a $3 million prize for the winner.
The challenge includes multiple integrated transportation systems in one area, allowing passengers to use a variety of self-driving modes of transportation.
Participants must ensure that their solution integrates with at least two of the following modes of transportation: autonomous taxis, autonomous shuttles, autonomous buses, autonomous drones, autonomous marine, autonomous logistics, and autonomous aviation.
According to the challenge’s official website, all autonomous modes in the proposed solution must achieve at least SAE Level 3 autonomy.
The challenge is part of RTA’s strategy to align with the government drive to transform 25% of all mobility trips in Dubai into self-driving trips by 2030, a goal announced by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
Participants can join as either an association of more than one company or as a single entity integrating multiple autonomous transportation systems. All leading companies with expertise in self-driving transport and integrating mobility systems are invited to participate.
