A couple of months ago, the directorate employed the use of a drone to deliver urgent in-house documents between its Bur Dubai and Deira branches within two minutes. These drones will use Google Maps for directions, and fingerprint scanners to confirm identities of recipients.
The initiative is considered the first of its kind and officials say it will help the government respond faster to residents' needs. UAE Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid said in a statement, "We want to reach people before they reach us."
Tests have been conducted over the past three months with regards to feasibility and cost effectiveness. The final phase of testing will begin soon in Dubai, where the initiative is planned to be rolled out first.
