ComfortDelGro modifies shuttle software after yellow-box incident in Punggol
ComfortDelGro said on 10 November it will modify the software of its driverless shuttles after a vehicle stopped inside a yellow box on Northshore Drive in Punggol, and that safety operators have been alerted to the incident. The incident follows a series of near-misses involving autonomous shuttles in the area.
Grab said it was reviewing video of a near-collision that nearly struck a young girl at a pedestrian crossing in Punggol, and the Land Transport Authority ordered ComfortDelGro to suspend U-turn trials for its autonomous vehicles at the same junction. Local residents later voiced safety concerns after two near-miss incidents, though most interviewees said the trials should continue.
