It covers rolling out a trial run of autonomous vehicles along with the operation of smart taxicabs capable of communicating with surrounding vehicles, providing the infrastructure of transport systems such as light signals, and embarking on trial runs of electric/gas-powered vehicles.
Other initiatives in the plan include improvement of quality offences code, procedures for spotting offending drivers, improvement of rewards and incentives system, and the revision of conditions for the rotation of drivers over a variety of occupations.
