LTA extends driverless car test circuit by 55 km

Singapore

SINGAPORE is extending the length of roads that driverless vehicles can be tested on by more than four times. In doing so, it is paving the way for self-driving cars to pass through residential estates for the first time.

But this new demarcation does not necessarily mean that autonomous vehicles (AVs) will soon ply through housing estates; trial participants need to get the green light from relevant authorities before their driverless cars can run in these neighbourhoods.
