In Singapore, started the final part of testing of unmanned vehicles, the practical use of which is expected in the coming year. This was reported by the Ministry of Transport of the Republic.
Now the craft on autopilot are tested in one of the research centers, as well as in popular tourist location “Gardens by the Bay” (Gardens by the Bay). A few weeks later these cars will appear on the resort island of Sentosa, where around March-April next year they have become one of the main means of transportation, transfers Tass.
It is expected that the first phase of “smart” machines will be moved to the island only as shuttles – strictly from one point to another. In addition, the movement will be organized on the road, almost along the coast, where there is usually no other means of transport and many footpaths. Then, at about the three or four months, in a test mode of the machine on autopilot will leave already on ordinary roads with traffic ‘traditional’ car.
The general concept of unmanned vehicles involves the introduction of such funds to the Park City public transportation as well as freight traffic.
It should be noted that Singapore may thus become the first country in the world to legalize autonomous vehicles. Google , for several years now experiencing its “guglmobili” does not expect that the US authorities would allow them free passage on public roads before 2017. Other companies focused in 2020 – in particular, in Tokyo this year is planned to start unmanned taxi for Olympic visitors.
