Dubai has begun implementing autonomous driverless vehicles at Al Maktoum International Airport to transport luggage. This initiative, which costs AED 6 million (approximately $1.6 million), is designed to enhance safety by minimizing human error in airside operations.
The vehicles utilize Level 3 autonomy, meaning they operate with minimal human supervision. The project serves as a trial to investigate the most efficient ways to deploy these autonomous vehicles on airport premises.
Dnata, the cargo handler involved in the project, expressed that the use of autonomous driving technology will significantly improve the safety of the working environment on the airport ramp for all personnel.
This innovation marks a major advancement in modernizing Dubai’s airport operations and improving overall efficiency. Moreover, this smart solution could:
- Set a new benchmark for airports worldwide
- Support Dubai’s ambition to be a pioneer in smart city technologies
