Autonomous cars are coming to Dubai: Cruise, backed by General Motors and Honda, will be the city's exclusive provider for self-driving taxis.
Why it matters: It's the first time the autonomous vehicle upstart is expanding operations outside U.S. borders. Dubai said it wants 20% of trips to take place in autonomous vehicles by 2030.
Cruise has been testing its cars in San Francisco — but hasn't said when it will offer a fleet of robotaxis in the U.S., CNBC reports.
The financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed.
It'll start tests in 2023. No word on when it will be rolled out to the public.
