The pilot will start with smaller buses with at least 16 seats and on services with shorter and simpler routes, and is slated to begin from mid-2026.
A team led by ST Kinetics will be launching an autonomous public bus by October 2020 and a driverless on-demand minibus in Sentosa in 2018.
The impact of self-driving cars will extend beyond transport, as the technology is set to be implemented in areas like road-cleaning and freight delivery.
To push the development of self-driving technology here further, the Land Transport Authority has installed equipment aimed at supporting and monitoring.
