Debated in Parliament on 9 May 2022.
Mr Melvin Yong Yik Chye asked the Minister for Transport (a) to date, how many autonomous vehicles (AV) have passed LTA's Milestone 2 test which allows AVs to be trialled in residential areas with a safety operator; and (b) whether any AV developer is on track to apply and pass the Milestone 3 test which allows AVs to be trialled with or without a safety operator.
As of 31 March 2022, one autonomous vehicle (AV) has passed LTA's Milestone 2 test.
The Milestone 3 test is being developed by LTA. LTA will continue to shape the Milestone 3 requirements, in tandem with AV technology development, to ensure that roadworthiness and safety are not compromised.
