The 1st World Congress for Self-Driving Transport took place on 15-16 October in Dubai. Our chairholder Prof. Fritz Busch was a member of the international jury for the evaluation of the competition teams, which was led by Dr. Steven Shladover (PATH program of UC Berkeley). The congress showed the ambitious goals of the emirate on the way to driverless mobility and discussed them in many different ways. In the year 2030, 25% of all trips in the emirate are to be made with driverless vehicles (including air mobility).
