RIYADH: From self-driving cars to autonomous delivery robots, Saudi Arabia is accelerating toward the next generation of AI-driven transport.
The year 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark period for autonomous mobility in the Kingdom, as the country builds partnerships and infrastructure for a cutting-edge logistics ecosystem.
This drive toward self-driving technology is central to the broader transformation under Vision 2030 — reshaping how goods and people move across Riyadh and beyond.
The shift aligns with the Transport General Authority’s land transport strategy, which aims for 25 percent of goods vehicles to be autonomous by 2030.
In July 2025, Transport and Logistic Services Minister Saleh Al-Jasser launched a pilot of WeRide’s Robotaxi in Riyadh — a milestone for developing a smart, safe transportation network.
