Okaz details passenger safeguards and safety controls for autonomous transport

Okaz reports that the executive regulation requires service providers to establish a clear pricing mechanism, notify the Transport General Authority when prices change, provide channels for passenger complaints and lost-property reports, and protect passenger privacy. It also requires vehicles to stop and the authority to be notified when a fault affecting safety is found, recurring accidents may be linked to autonomous-driving systems, or cyber intrusions threaten safe operation. Where safety risks exist, the authority may recall vehicles or suspend a model or fleet. Vehicles cannot return to service until the reasons for suspension are addressed and the necessary approval is obtained.
