An NTU Singapore study has found that safety concerns determine the level of public support for driverless vehicles. To enable the safe and effective rollout of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in Singapore, the Centre of Excellence for Testing and Research of Autonomous vehicles at NTU (CETRAN), designed to replicate the different elements of Singapore's roads, facilitates testing of AVs in a real-world setting. The world's first full size autonomous electric bus, launched by NTU and Volvo Buses in 2019, is one such AV that has undergone rigorous testing at CETRAN.
