You will no longer have an examiner telling you what to do. Dubai\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roads and Transport Authority<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (RTA) has introduced a new smart test system. It\u2019s the first-of-its-kind across the globe! Find out more below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are all aware that the yard test is one of the key milestones in acquiring a driving license in Dubai. Now instead of an examiner testing you, the smart car will do the job! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wondering how that works? Well, here\u2019s the deal. The testing yard has been fitted with certain marks. The onboard tablet in the smart cars will explain five maneuvers through voice instructions that the driver is to be tested on. These maneuvers include garage, slope, angle, parallel, and emergency brake. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the aid of cameras and sensors, the car will measure the performance of drivers through these maneuvers. The images and data captured will be sent to a central processor for assessing the result. Pretty cool, right! If you find the idea interesting, you will love these <a href=\"http:\/\/65.1.85.58\/newsroom\/ar-dasboards-smart-cars-uae\/\">AR dashboards for smart cars<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why have they done this, you ask. The reason is simple! Not only will it increase transparency, it also means the elimination of human error on the examiner\u2019s part. And let\u2019s not forget how efficient such an automated process is likely to be. To top it off, RTA hopes the system will improve the safety aspects of the tests, ensuring all drivers meet Dubai road safety standards. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, the Smart Yard initiative has been introduced across two Dubai Driving Centers: Al Khail and Al Quoz Industrial Area. Let\u2019s hope they introduce the system across the UAE soon! <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Passed your driving test with flying colors and now looking for used cars for sale in Dubai, UAE?
