AI Police
Dubai police officially unveiled a group of robot policemen in 2017, equipped with "emotion detection device" which can distinguish human actions and gestures within 1.5 meters, as well as facial emotions and expressions. Dubai will send machine police to patrol the streets to combat crime everyday. It is expected that by 2030, machine police will account for a quarter of the patrol force of Dubai police station.
High-speed Railway
The project is planned to be built on the border between Abu Dhabi and Dubai. With the future development, a commercial super high-speed rail line will be established in the United Arab Emirates and other regions. It is expected to carry out in pipe transportation at the speed of 1200 kilometers per hour, faster than the plane. This ultra fast pipeline system based on vacuum mobile capsule can not only transport people, but also transport goods from ports along the Persian Gulf, which is of cross era significance for the interconnection of cities.
