Self-driving trucks are coming to Singapore's ports

This week, authorities signed agreements with two truck makers with strong track records in self-driving technology-- Sweden's Scania and Japan's Toyota Tsusho--to work on the project. In the first phase, lasting about a year and starting this month, each company will design, develop, and test a truck platooning system in their respective countries. In the second, one company will be chosen for local trials on a 10 km (6.2 miles) stretch of Singapore's West Coast Highway, hauling cargo between the Brani and Pasir Panjang terminals.
