LTA introduces first of six autonomous buses for pilot testing

They will be piloted on public bus services 400 (Marina Bay) and 191 (One-North).

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has introduced the first of six autonomous public buses in the city.

The vehicles will be piloted on public bus services 400 (Marina Bay) and 191 (One-North), operating alongside conventional manned buses once testing is complete.

The buses will undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet all safety and operating requirements, the LTA said in a Facebook post.

The autonomous vehicles are equipped with cameras and sensors, in addition to standard features found on existing public buses.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
