Singapore Land Transport Authority granted full commercial permits to Waymo and Zoox for round-the-clock driverless operations across central urban corridors.
Empty cabin economics: per-mile costs plummet by 42% without drivers, but sensor calibration and thermal management eat one-third of the margin.
Heavy tropical downpours (>50 mm/h) creating optical scattering and lidar cover condensation.
