SINGAPORE - An autonomous scooter designed by a team of researchers in Singapore is now ready to go on the market.
The scooter is one of the four variants of autonomous vehicles that are being worked on by the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology Future Urban Mobility research group . "It's all a matter of linking up with manufacturers who are able to build it for us and commercialise it," he said. The scooter weighs about 50kg, runs on battery power and has a maximum speed of about 15kmh. It can travel about 20km on a full charge.
It currently costs about $18,000 to build one autonomous scooter, but Dr Ang said he hopes that the cost can eventually be brought down to below $1,000 when it is mass produced.
