(MENAFN- AsiaNet News)

Autonomous driving technology company Pony said on Friday that it has been granted a permit by Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) to conduct autonomous driving trials on the emirate's roads.

The China-based company announced that it has begun pilot testing in select areas, with the robotaxi service scheduled for commercial launch without a driver in 2026. The permit follows a partnership between Pony and Dubai's RTA in May.

Pony's rival in the robotaxi race, Baidu (BIDU), announced the receipt of a similar permit earlier this week.
