Self-driving cars won't truly arrive this year, or next year, but in the next five years ? Entirely possible. Ten years already looks pessimistic.
Initially, the cars will have drivers, ready to take over if the system fails but the plan is to gradually phase the human out in 2019. The small fleet of six Audi vehicles will travel along a 3.5 mile (5.6km) route in One North, a business district in the city. The pilot ends in 2020 with a view to rolling out a wider deployment after that.
