Driverless vehicles will be rolled out on “less technically challenging” bus routes with lower traffic.
SINGAPORE – Self-driving minibuses and logistics vehicles might soon be navigating Singapore’s streets, as the Republic moves to deploy more of these autonomous vehicle technologies on the roads.
“Equally importantly, these use cases can help address our pressing manpower challenges in the logistics and public transport sectors, where it has been challenging for operators to hire drivers.” Mr Chee also said LTA would buy autonomous minibuses to deploy them here in partnership with a public bus operator.
He pointed out that LTA has developed a revised testing and assessment framework that will test AV technologies from abroad in a circuit before deploying them on set real-world routes.
