Singapore wants to start testing self-driving buses on its roads

Whether it’s implementing nation-wide Internet of Things systems, or testing out drone-based deliveries for its postal service, Singapore has proven time and time again that it’s not afraid to embrace emerging technologies. Not even its public transportation is safe from that technological embrace, as Singapore has announced that it’s going to start testing self-driving buses on public roads next year. As a city-state with extremely limited land, the importance of public transit can’t be overstated, so it’s obvious why Singapore would want to make it safer and more efficient.
