Singapore’s robotaxi drive revs up with help from Chinese AV leaders
In a quiet street in northern Singapore, a car plies the road like any other – except it is a left-hand drive from China and the person in the driver’s seat has been trained to keep his hands off the wheel and his foot off the pedals unless an emergency arises.

For now, Singapore...
