World’s first self-driving taxis roll out in Singapore with millions of jobs under threat
rt.com
The world’s first self-driving taxis took to the streets Thursday in the first phase of a project to help curb the number of cars on Singapore’s congested roads - and potentially kill millions of jobs in the global transportation sector.
Selected members of the public will be able to use their smartphones to catch a free ride of the taxis operated by startup nuTonomy, making it the first company to provide such a service.
Google and Volvo have both been testing out self-driving cars in the last several years, but nuTonomy says it is the first company to offer rides to the public.
Uber is also due to launch a similar project in a few weeks with autonomous cars in Pittsburgh, AP reports.
The Singapore service initially starts with six cars and will expand to a dozen by the end of the year.
The startup aims to have a full fleet of self-driving taxis by 2018 and eventually expand the model to other cities across the world.
