Saudi Arabia Technical Regulations for Autonomous Vehicles

Saudi Arabia's Technical Regulations for Autonomous Vehicles, issued by SASO (Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization) and implemented/overseen by the Transport General Authority (TGA) via a pilot and regulatory sandbox, in force from April 2026, working alongside Volume 801 of the Saudi Highway Code. The framework covers SAE Level 4 and 5 vehicles across passenger transport, goods transport, hub-to-hub freight, and autonomous parking; the Riyadh pilot (Uber and WeRide) ran through late 2025 with 1,000-plus users.
