Autonomous vehicles can already drive themselves. But can they earn public trust? In the GCC, the answer is increasingly yes: at 85.9%, the UAE has the highest share of positive coverage of any market analysed.
Watch CARMA’s on-demand webinar, part of the Driving Change series. It presents findings from an analysis of 30,528 editorial and social media items, with a dedicated focus on the GCC and MENA.
What we covered:
- Why regulation is a trust asset in the GCC, lifting net trust by +79.2, the highest of any region.
- Why misuse of technology is the second-biggest risk concern in the GCC and MENA, after collision.
- Why private passenger vehicles, not robotaxis, lead MENA coverage at 53.2%.
- How Gulf capital is shaping the sector, from Mubadala in Waymo to QIA and ADIC in Applied Intuition.
- What communicators must do now: prove the claim, make responsibility visible and localise the evidence.
Learn how trust is built or broken, how to prepare for a crisis before it happens, and what organisations in the GCC need to do differently.
