People in Singapore are going to start seeing this Peugeot SUV driving itself on (a couple of) roads soon. 。
Europe's fifth largest carmaker has partnered with MIT self-driving spin-out Nutonomy, to test the Peugeot 3008 model in the island.。

PSA Group, which owns Peugeot, says it plans to use the opportunity to learn what components to build into future self-driving cars. 。

While Nutonomy is running limited trials over a small fleet right now, it expects to increase its Singapore cars by "several hundred" next year, according to a statement it provided to the Wall Street Journal. 。
"If all goes well, we'll have our software on hundreds if not thousands of [Peugeot] vehicles," Karl Iagnemma, Nutonomy's co-founder, was quoted as saying. 。
The launch of the Peugeots in Singapore comes some seven months after one of its driverless cars collided with a lorry. 。
Nutonomy said that the accident was due to a "rare combination of software anomalies" that affected how the car responded to other vehicles when changing lanes. The company halted testing on public roads for a month to investigate what went wrong. 。
"We've made improvements to our software system to eliminate these anomalies, and have extensively tested it... to ensure that our vehicles will operate safely going forward," the company said in an update in November last year. 。
