RIYADH: Riyadh Deputy Gov. Prince Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Abdulaziz, accompanied by Saudi Minister of Transport and Logistics Services Saleh Al-Jasser, toured the streets of Riyadh in a self-driving vehicle on his way to King Khalid International Airport. Last month, the Transport General Authority launched the first phase of self-driving vehicle services in several locations in Riyadh, aiming to advance smart and sustainable mobility.

The deputy governor, along with Al-Jasser, toured the airport operations control center. He received a detailed explanation about the center’s pivotal role in making real-time decisions in cooperation with all bodies operating at the airport, with the objective of enhancing operational flow (to and from the airport) and improving the passenger experience by leveraging the latest artificial intelligence systems.
