SINGAPORE: The world’s first driverless taxis went into operation on Thursday in Singapore in a limited public trial, beating giants like Uber in the race to roll out the revolutionary tech**logy.
The "robo-taxi service" is being tested at a small research campus well away from the thrum of the Asian business hub.
Data from the experiment will feed into the roll-out of driverless taxis across the city-state in 2018, said nuTo**my, a US-based tech start-up that developed the software used in the vehicles.
"The trial represents an extraordinary opportunity to collect feedback from riders in a real-world setting," said nuTo**my chief executive and co-founder Karl Iagnemma.
"This feedback will give nuTo**my a unique advantage as we work toward deployment of a self-driving vehicle fleet in 2018," he said.
The six taxis -- Renault Zoe and Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric vehicles -- will operate in a 2.5 square mile area, with set pick-up and drop-off points.
