Commentary of the day

LTA announces the entry of Waymo into the local autonomous vehicles (AV) market today, with services set to begin in 2028. It is astounding to note how utterly asinine ideas like using potentially hazardous robotaxis to larp as buses need barely any time to vet and implement, whereas more sound policies such as introducing driverless technology to regular bus services remain a pipe dream after so many years. One can imagine an army of rogue robotaxis swarming the streets of Singapore in the near future, while automation of proper public transport still remains in its infancy. So much for wanting to promote a car-lite society, ain’t it?
