What will a driverless Singapore look like?

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are no longer sci-fi, they’re rolling onto Singapore’s roads.

On TransportBT, host Derryn Wong speaks with associate professor Raymond Ong from NUS about how far the technology has come, and what it means for our transport future.

From Punggol’s self-driving shuttles to the first driverless bus contracts, AVs promise to change how we move, work, and even own cars. But are we really ready to give up the wheel, and the small talk with our Grab drivers?

Highlights:

03:36 Why AVs now?

04:56 Are AVs really safe?

08:03 Testing the AVs in Singapore

11:08 Will AVs take away driver jobs?

15:15 How will transportation businesses evolve?
