Officials said that the Emirati service will open up new job opportunities for private Emirati car owners, make transport economical and also give tourists a refreshing cultural tour of the place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uber Regional Manager of the Middle East, Anthony Al-Khoury said that according to the agreement Emiratis can use the app to drive their private cars on a regular or part-time basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Al-Khoury further stated that ,&#8221;<i>Our whole negotiation with the ITC was for us to be able to launch in an affordable way to move around Abu Dhabi. We found the best way to do so was to open it up for the Emiratis. Now Emiratis with a private driving license and not a commercial one can use their private cars and drive on Uber. And pricing of this product is on par with taxis (at Dh12). It is a very affordable transportation similar to what taxis are providing\u201d.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emiratis can use this service to create additional economic opportunities. The flexibility that this particular market is unheard of in the market. Any Emirati can work 2-3 hours everyday and bring in a little cash. They can also buy a <a href=\"https:\/\/carswitch.com\/dubai\/used-cars\/search\">used car, UAE<\/a> and use it as an Uber taxi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Officials say that Uber offers complete transparency through new and technologically advanced safety features. As a rider you will know the name of your driver, the time taken for the driver to reach you, car number and type, navigation, post trip reviews and speed limit pop-up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ITC general manager Mohammed Darwish Al Qamzi claims that Emirati service will improve customer experience. People visiting Abu Dhabi can get a cultural flavour of the place by riding with Emirati residents in their personal cars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/65.1.85.58\/newsroom\/toyota-uber-self-driving-cars\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uber\u2019s partnership with Toyota<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to mass produce autonomous vehicles is going to expand their foot hold in the automotive industry even more.
