Dubai's latest futuristic transport system is becoming more tangible by the day, with the Dubai Media Office giving a a sneak peek at the proposed route map for the sky pods, which will link Business Bay with Al Wasl.

The route will also accommodate the busy areas around the Burj Khalifa, Dubai International Finance Centre (DIFC), City Walk and Coca-Cola Arena.

The RTA Director-General Mattar Mohammed Al Tayer said, "The signing of the agreement is part of the RTA's efforts to deploy autonomous transit means in line with the Dubai Self-Driving Transport Stategy aimed at diverting 25% of total mobility journeys in Dubai to autonomous transit means by 2030. The move corresponds to RTA's efforts to enhance the integration of mass transit modes, and offer a solution to the first and last-mile challenge; which helps riders reach their final destinations."

No date of completion has been given as of yet so we'll have to be patient for a little while longer.
