In 2017, the Government identified Punggol, Tengah and the Jurong Innovation District as areas where residents and workers can take self-driving buses and shuttles for their first- and last-mile commutes, under a pilot programme. All AVs will have to display prominent decals and have markings to ensure easy identification by other road users.
In addition, they must continue to have a qualified safety driver"who is ready to take over immediate control of the vehicle should the need arise".Further expansion of trials will be permitted after the AVs pass stringent competency tests, said the LTA.Current test sites include Buona Vista, Jurong Island and Nanyang Technological University in western Singapore, as well as Sentosa.
