Two consortiums have been selected to design, develop and test the vehicles.

SINGAPORE: Self-driving vehicles to clean roads in Singapore will go on trial in 2020, said the National Environment Agency and the Ministry of Transport in a joint media release on Thursday .

They will only be allowed to start trials on public roads at designated AV test sites such as one-north, after passing a rigorous safety assessment, said NEA and MOT. The consortiums selected consist of"experienced and established" players from the autonomous vehicles and environmental services industries, said NEA and MOT.

“Building on existing technologies used on our mechanical sweeper vehicles to monitor the progress and status of road cleaning, these projects seek to further automate road cleaning, by catalysing the local robotics industry to build up expertise and experience in delivering environmental robotic solutions, which can then be commercialised and potentially exported,” said NEA CEO Tan Meng Dui.
