Huge potential: Sheikh Mohammed (R) says driverless cars could save 22bil dirhams (RM23.6bil) in annual costs through greater efficiency.

DUBAI: Dubai will introduce legislation to promote the use of driverless vehicles and invite companies to propose automated transport systems for the emirate, the government said on Monday.

The fast-growing city state, which has about 2.5 million permanent residents, aims to make 25% of its transport – both public and private – driverless by 2030.
