Driverless Taxis Coming to Singapore?
NuTonomy, a company in Singapore, began testing a taxi-hailing service using self-driving vehicles this week. Certain members of the public can use a smartphone app to hail an autonomous vehicle (with a computer engineer and a backup human driver) within a small business district in Singapore. These are the first public road tests of autonomous vehicles, although other companies such as Uber also expect to soon begin trials of driverless taxis.
