2026) \u2014 A major technological shift in public transport has begun in <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Dubai<\/span><\/span> with the launch of a driverless taxi service, sparking concerns among Pakistani drivers about potential job losses.<\/h4>\n<h4 data-start=\"534\" data-end=\"853\">According to details, Dubai has joined a select group of global cities introducing autonomous taxis as part of efforts to modernise its transportation sector. The <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Roads and Transport Authority<\/span><\/span> (RTA) has officially rolled out the service, marking a significant milestone in the emirate\u2019s smart mobility strategy.<\/h4>\n<h4 data-start=\"855\" data-end=\"1108\">The service has initially been launched in the coastal residential and commercial area of <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Umm Suqeim<\/span><\/span>, near Jumeirah. Authorities confirmed that around 100 driverless taxis have been deployed in the first phase across the city.<\/h4>\n<h4 data-start=\"1110\" data-end=\"1333\">These taxis are being operated in collaboration with two Chinese autonomous driving technology companies and are available to the public through ride-hailing apps such as <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Uber<\/span><\/span> and Apollo Go.<\/h4>\n<h4 data-start=\"1335\" data-end=\"1540\">Officials stated that the number of autonomous taxis will gradually increase in the coming years to meet rising demand for advanced transport solutions and to support Dubai\u2019s future-focused mobility plans.<\/h4>\n<h4 data-start=\"1542\" data-end=\"1808\">While the initiative is being seen as a major step forward in innovation, it has raised serious concerns among traditional taxi drivers, particularly Pakistanis working in the sector. Thousands of Pakistani drivers are currently employed in Dubai and other emirates.<\/h4>\n<h4 data-start=\"1810\" data-end=\"2051\">Experts warn that if the driverless taxi project proves successful and expands further, it could significantly impact conventional taxi services, increasing the risk of unemployment for many expatriate drivers, including those from Pakistan.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u062f\u0628\u0626\u06cc (\u067e\u0648\u0679\u06be\u0648\u0627\u0631 \u0688\u0627\u0679 \u06a9\u0627\u0645\u060c \u0645\u062d\u0645\u062f \u0646\u0635\u06cc\u0631 \u0631\u0627\u062c\u06c1\u060c 07 \u0627\u067e\u0631\u06cc\u0644 2026\u0621) \u2013 \u062f\u0628\u0626\u06cc \u0645\u06cc\u06ba \u0679\u06cc\u06a9\u0633\u06cc \u0686\u0644\u0627\u0646\u06d2 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u06d2 \u067e\u0627\u06a9\u0633\u062a\u0627\u0646\u06cc \u0688\u0631\u0627\u0626\u06cc\u0648\u0631\u0632 \u0628\u06d2 \u0631\u0648\u0632\u06af\u0627\u0631 \u06c1\u0648 \u062c\u0627\u0646\u06d2 \u06a9\u06d2 \u062e\u062f\u0634\u06d2 \u0633\u06d2 \u062f\u0648\u0686\u0627\u0631\u060c \u062f\u0628\u0626\u06cc \u0645\u06cc\u06ba \u0628\u063a\u06cc\u0631 \u0688\u0631\u0627\u0626\u06cc\u0648\u0631 \u0679\u06cc\u06a9\u0633\u06cc \u0633\u0631\u0648\u0633 \u06a9\u0627 \u0627\u0653\u063a\u0627\u0632\u060c \u0627\u0628\u062a\u062f\u0627\u0626\u06cc \u0637\u0648\u0631 \u067e\u0631 \u0634\u06c1\u0631 \u0645\u06cc\u06ba \u0628\u0646\u0627 \u0688\u0631\u0627\u0626\u06cc\u0648\u0631 \u06a9\u06d2 100 \u0679\u06cc\u06a9\u0633\u06cc\u0627\u06ba \u0686\u0644\u0627\u0626\u06cc \u062c\u0627\u0626\u06cc\u06ba \u06af\u06cc\u06d4 \u062a\u0641\u0635\u06cc\u0644\u0627\u062a \u06a9\u06d2 \u0645\u0637\u0627\u0628\u0642 \u062f\u0628\u0626\u06cc \u06a9\u06d2 \u067e\u0628\u0644\u06a9 \u0679\u0631\u0627\u0646\u0633\u067e\u0648\u0631\u0679 \u0634\u0639\u0628\u06c1 &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":62305,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[24,47,13,933],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62304","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dailynews","category-headline","category-overseas-news","category-pothwarallnews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/31"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62304"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62304\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62320,"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62304\/revisions\/62320"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
