Cruise, the San Francisco-based robotaxi company backed by General Motors, plans to expand its operations to Dubai and will set up its first overseas unit in the Middle Eastern city by 2023

and have thousands of its electric autonomous vans operating there by the end of the decade.

The agreement is “the first of its kind worldwide between a government entity and a leading developer of autonomous vehicles,” said Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the city’s crown prince. Deployment of Cruise’s technology aligns with Dubai’s plans to convert a quarter of vehicle trips to self-driving by 2030. The city is hoping deployment of electric autonomous vehicles will cut both transportation costs and road accidents.
