Uber arch-rival Careem, which operates in Pakistan and across the Middle East and North Africa, has inked a deal to use self-driving electric pods, reports Gulf Business. The pods, made by Italy-based Next Future Transportation, are modular, allowing them to drive individually or by clamping to other units to form a bus. One pod, 8.8 feet (2.7 m) in length, can hold up to 10 people. The deal, described as a strategic partnership between the two firms, is a long way from bringing the actual autonomous pods into service since the Italian company has not yet started testing on a working prototype. "We are ready to power it and start the testings [sic], however we are still looking for a lead investor," said Next in a post on LinkedIn.

Dubai Police is reportedly planning to use robots and artificial intelligence in its policing of the city by 2020. Local publication Emirates 24/7 cited Dubai Police Smart Department general director Colonel Khalid Razooqi as saying robots could do the work of a police officer on the ground in some situations. "We are working on a similar project and it will be ready by Expo 2020," he was quoted as saying. This follows testing of a robot during the Gitex Technology Week event to gain user feedback. "The project we are working on will involve robots interacting with people and performing some responsibilities that of a police officer," Razooqi said, according to the publication.
