In the Singapore Ministry of Transport (MOT) website(2018) on Driverless Vehicles: A Vision for Singapore’s Transport, MOT states that it has been investing on the research on Autonomous Vehicle(AV). It started with the Committee on Autonomous Road Transport for Singapore (CARTS), which consists of renowned specialists that forge the strategic direction for AV. MOT also mentions that it has already had existing AV technology in Singapore in a form of Singapore Rail Lines, driverless buggies and autonomous shuttle bus. MOT has had also done various efforts on AV such as introducing a test course for AV on public roads within One-North under real traffic condition. Furthermore, MOT envisions AV to be the highlight of town-planning by providing connectivity between neighborhoods. In the MOT website, LTA further suggested that by enabling car-sharing, AV could potentially become a common transport which could scale down the number of vehicles on the road by a third. Which, they believe AV will forge a future of us depend on it.
