Self driving golf carts a competition to Google car?
In a six-day trial in Singapore, scientists have successfully tested self-driving golf carts that ferried 500 tourists around winding paths used by pedestrians and cyclists. The vehicles are instrumented but not as heavily as, say, the Google car.

New York: In a six-day trial in Singapore, scientists have successfully tested self-driving golf carts that ferried 500 tourists around winding paths used by pedestrians and cyclists. The vehicles are instrumented but not as heavily as, say, the Google car.
As part of the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), the experiments also tested an online booking system that enabled visitors to schedule pickups and drop-offs, automatically routing and redeploying the vehicles to accommodate all the requests.
The researchers asked participants in the experiment to fill out a brief questionnaire after their rides. Nearly 98 per cent said they would use the autonomous golf carts again and 95 percent said they would be more likely to visit the gardens if the golf carts were a permanent fixture.
