SINGAPORE - Driverless road sweepers have been deployed to clean limited areas as part of trials launched on Wednesday (Jan 13).
If the trials are successful, these autonomous environmental service vehicles (AESVs) will pave the way for pilot deployment on roads during off-peak hours in the next few years.
The trials began this month, after the National Environment Agency (NEA) said two AESV prototypes had successfully demonstrated their features, and are expected to run till July.
The proof-of-concept trials of the AESVs will be conducted progressively, starting with off-peak timings, such as weekends and evenings, in designated small-scale environments in one-north, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and CleanTech Park at Jurong Innovation District.
