Dozens of autonomous vehicles are being put to the test at a special center in Singapore that aims to advance the development of self-driving car technology
Startups from around the world are coming to the purpose-built track that recreates an urban environment over 5 acres at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University. The roads look like any other in the city, with stop lights, crosswalks and traffic signs. There's even a rain simulator.Dillip Limbu, MooVita's CEO, said the quirky design of the company's car, the MooAV, is intentional.
"Singapore is aging more rapidly and [at] a faster rate than anywhere else in the world, and so we have a situation where, in order to provide mobility for seniors, it would be really advantageous to have such technology available," said Subodh Mhaisalkar, the professor in charge of Nanyang's Energy Research Institute, which carries out autonomous vehicle research.
"We're asking the question for the last mile. Can we replace some of the transportation options with autonomous vehicles?" Mhaisalker said.. The Singapore government has imposed limitations, though, to make sure things don't move ahead too fast.
