Driverless taxis hit Dubai’s streets

Dubai is launching driverless taxis today - a long-awaited step into the future. Home schooling has been extended for another two weeks - now running until April 17 - putting added pressure on parents and the wider education system. Meanwhile, with the Strait of Hormuz closed for a fifth week, it’s not just oil and gas affected - fertiliser costs are surging, raising fresh concerns about global food inflation and how we grow food more efficiently. And the city is also embracing a pay-it-forward dining trend, with initiatives like “Treat On Us” encouraging residents to buy meals for others and boost community spirit.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
