A Navya SAS autonomous electric passenger bus travels past a crosswalk at the test circuit at the Centre of Excellence for Testing & Research of Autonomous Vehicles (CETRAN) of Nanyang Technology University in Singapore, on Tuesday, May 22, 2018. In the race to deploy driverless public transport, Singapore has built a mini town that could vault it into pole position. The 2-hectare complex, unveiled in November, has intersections, traffic lights, bus stops and pedestrian crossings, all built to the specifications that Singapore uses for its public roads.

In the race to deploy driverless public transport, Singapore has built a mini town that could vault it into pole position.
The 2-hectare complex, unveiled in November, has intersections, traffic lights, bus stops and pedestrian crossings, all built to the specifications that Singapore uses for its public roads. There’s a mini hill to check how vehicle sensors perform when they can’t see directly ahead, mock skyscrapers to mimic the radio interference from tall buildings and a rain machine to simulate the island’s frequent tropical downpours.
