Integrating Autonomous Mobility into the Transport System: A Saudi Arabian Case Study

Autonomous mobility is poised to transform global transport, with autonomous vehicles (AVs) being tested in pilot projects worldwide. Successfully integrating these technologies into existing systems demands a structured approach. This white paper presents a four-step framework to accelerate autonomous mobility pilots and deployments: regulatory sandbox development; pilot selection; pilot implementation; and scaling.

Saudi Arabia serves as an exemplary use case for this process, using national regulatory sandboxes to align AV pilot projects with broader goals such as Vision 2030, paving the way for widespread adoption and continuous improvement of autonomous mobility.
