Dubai's driverless technology faced an unexpected moment on the roads after a self-driving car was filmed coming to a stop in the middle of traffic instead of continuing to its destination.

The video quickly drew attention on social media, raising questions about how autonomous vehicles respond when real-life situations do not go according to plan.

Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) responded in the comments under the video, confirming that the incident is being investigated in coordination with the company operating the vehicle.

"Kindly note that the matter is currently under investigation in coordination with the operating company and the necessary action will be taken. Safety remains our highest priority and we appreciate your understanding," the authority said.
