Reka: Malaysia warming up to autonomous vehicles

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia is preparing for the future of mobility with growing interest in autonomous vehicles, which are expected to increase significantly in the next decade. He said that autonomous vehicles have lower interest compared to electric vehicles (EV) due to lower demand for automation. “For instance, Singapore started testing autonomous vehicles for public use by dedicating specific lanes for them in certain sections of the city and implementing speed limits for these vehicles. This is one of the easiest ways to implement autonomous vehicles in the country,” he suggested. Autonomous cars, also known as driverless cars, are vehicles that are capable of navigating and operating on roads without human input.
