Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 5: Yeo Wan Ling on autonomous vehicle deployment
As autonomous vehicle (AV) services scale, will they remain affordable as part of daily commuting, or will they be a premium option? Will there be deeper engagements with different groups, including seniors who may feel uncertain about travelling in AVs? On the regulatory front, clarity is still needed. In the event of a malfunction or incident, where does liability lie? MP Yeo Wan Ling raised these questions in parliament on Wednesday (Mar 4). She stressed that while it is important for Singapore to embrace new technologies, it must be done in a way that does not disrupt livelihoods.
