New investment players in Saudi<\/p>\n

Brookfield <\/strong>and Neuberger enter the Saudi securities market: <\/strong>The Capital Market Authority gave the green light to Brookfield\u2019s local unit, Brookfield Arabia for Business Services<\/a>, and Neuberger Berman\u2019s local arm, Neuberger Berman Saudi Investment<\/a>, to manage investments and run funds in the Kingdom, it said in two separate announcements. The approvals mean both firms can now kick off their licensed operations on the ground.<\/p>\n

The Saudi market gets busier: <\/strong>Brookfield and Neuberger Berman join a growing roster of international asset managers building onshore investment operations in Saudi Arabia, including BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, Ashmore Group, and Investcorp.<\/p>\n

\n

Updated road rules for AVs<\/p>\n

The Interior Ministry introduced new traffic regulations for self-driving <\/strong>vehicles<\/strong>, Saudi Gazette<\/a> reports, citing amendments published in Umm Al Qura. Under the new rules, owners of fully autonomous vehicles (AVs) will be legally accountable for their AV\u2019s traffic violations and accidents, while drivers remain responsible in vehicles that require human oversight. <\/p>\n

Exemptions and registration rules:<\/strong> The regulations also require approval from the relevant authority before a self-driving vehicle can be deregistered, and they exempt fully autonomous vehicles from standard driver authorization requirements.<\/p>\n

Why it matters: <\/strong>The rules shift responsibility before the law to AV owners, including companies, making them liable for accidents and violations linked to system errors. The move comes as the Kingdom moves forward with several autonomous mobility projects, including the WeRide-Uber robotaxi<\/a> pilot, planned autonomous trucking<\/a> initiatives, and a Humain-Nvidia<\/a> partnership focused on autonomous transport ecosystem development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
