"We look forward to bringing many such innovations over the next few months. We are a hungry, talented and ambitious nation. I hope it will inspire our tech-driven youth to dream big and to achieve those dreams because everything is possible here," he said.

Over the next few weeks, noon.com will trial autonomous vehicles to complete its last-mile delivery in key areas of Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

The driverless vehicles will be built by Neoflix who have knowledge and experience with the production of autonomous technology. The driverless vans are being especially customised to suit the region's weather conditions, and are being seamlessly integrated with noon's logistics platform.

Having already created a hyper-efficient homegrown logistics and supply chain setup in the KSA, the UAE and Egypt, noon.com is now looking to make the last mile of deliveries even smoother to give customers in the region a higher quality experience.
