In April, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid announced Dubai's vision to make 25 percent of all transportation in the emirate driverless. Now, Careem  is working to make that happen.

"As the pioneering operators of the finest taxi fleet in the UAE, we are acutely aware of the ground realities of intra-city and inter-city transport. While serving the immediate needs of the region, we are also cognizant of the importance of innovating for a greener and more delightful future," said Mudassir Sheikha, co-founder of Careem.

This technology will be the first of its kind in the region.
