THE whole of western Singapore will be designated a testbed for autonomous vehicles (AVs), in a move to speed up the development of the technology. The expanded testbed, which includes such areas as Bukit Timah, Clementi and Jurong, will open up more than 1,000km of public roads for companies to conduct tests.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Thursday the decision was in response to industry feedback for a more varied testing environment. It gives companies the chance "to progressively conduct on-road testing in a wider range of traffic scenarios and road conditions".
