Once ready, the buses will travel the roughly 1.4 kilometre distance between the university at Nanyang Avenue, and nearby CleanTech One industrial park for a field trial.

The government agency said the trial route will possibly be extended to the nearby Pioneer train station at a later date. It didn't specify, however, when the trial will commence.

Driverless car accident in Singapore

The driverless bus announcement, however, comes just days after one of Singapore's newly launched autonomous cars collided with a lorry.

On Wednesday, MIT spinoff Nutonomy said it would be halting its driverless trial while it investigates how the accident happened.

Nutonomy set up operations in Singapore about a year ago, and just a month ago started trialing its self-driving cars in a small business district park in the island state.
