Middle East Autonomous Vehicle Market Analysis
The Middle East Autonomous vehicle market has witnessed notable growth during the historical years. Autonomous vehicles refer to commercial as well as passenger vehicles that can drive autonomously with the help of built-in hardware and software. The hardware includes sensors, CPU, radars, etc., in order to collect vast amounts of data to assess the road conditions and traffic and steer the vehicle in a lane with a constant speed to reduce the efforts of the driver. These systems also provide assistance in braking where sudden braking is needed.
Middle East Autonomous Vehicle Market Trends
One of the key trends seen in the Middle East is the gradual advancement in terms of digitalization of transport and the further integration of AI in vehicles. As artificial intelligence technologies are becoming more capable of handling diverse road conditions the technological adoption of autonomous vehicles will further grow in the coming years.
Digitalization of Transport and AI Integration:
The impact of AI-driven technologies is helping overcome the challenges faced by autonomous vehicles while functioning in multifarious real-life settings. The transport system integration of AI in the Middle East improves the efficiency and safety of AVs and promotes the overall transportation structure.
Traffic and Transportation Management Improvement: Systems for traffic control based on artificial intelligence technology are installed to reduce traffic problems in busy cities. Using a system utilizing multiple sources of information including images from traffic cameras, sensors, and GPS, also any computer prediction about ‘steps’ in the following image B traffic signals optimization, prediction of congestion, and traffic flow corrections are possible in real-time. This in-car system can also be used when AV technology is implemented allowing for better coordination of traffic between AVs and human-driven vehicles.
Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC)/ Vehicle-to-everything (V2X): In-Vehicle Communication (IVC) supports the movement/commute of autonomous vehicles within traffic conditions alongside other vehicles, road structures, and pedestrians, as well as traffic systems. Furthermore, this enhances the operability of autonomous vehicles enabling them to communicate with other vehicles within the environment such as roads, traffic signals, and obstacles.
Saudi Arabia is Expected to Grow with Significant CAGR During Forecast Period
Saudi Arabia has held a sizable share of the Middle East Autonomous Vehicle market. Some of the factors attributed to the growth are a higher focus of the government towards the adoption of policies and measures towards autonomous vehicles, additionally, public and private sector focus towards the infrastructure development and increasing the number of options available under the self-driving vehicles. Additionally, there have been many updates regarding the launch of various driverless cars in the country which would be crucial for the market expansion in the coming years. For instance, in 2024, the government of Saudi Arabia launched a driverless project under which the first driverless car for Saudi officials will be delivered by 2025. Additionally, the country has planned to shift at least 15% of the total vehicles to be autonomous by the year 2030.
