Singapore announced that the AI-driven Intelligent Driving Circuit will be rolled out at SSDC in 2028, allowing learners to take the wheel on a controlled circuit without a human instructor in the car.

The system uses image-recognition AI to analyse driver behaviour and vehicle status, offering objective feedback and potentially reducing dependence on human trainers.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to William Lee, Robotics & Embodied AI Scientist-Engineer, Stealth AI, to discuss whether this marks a new era for driver training and if AI can match the judgement and nuance of a human instructor.
