SINGAPORE: ComfortDelGro (CDG) will build and operate a new driving centre in Choa Chu Kang that will replace the Bukit Batok Driving Centre by 2030, the company announced on Wednesday (Mar 11).\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is part of CDG’s S$200 million (US$157 million) investment over 30 years to modernise and expand training capabilities in Singapore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe group intends to invest in new training facilities, advanced technologies and operations to meet sustained demand for high-quality, school-based driver training, and to address the declining number of private driving instructors,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n
The new facility is located at a S$38 million site at Lorong Bistari with a 30-year lease.<\/p>\n
Billed as a \u201cnext-generation driving centre\u201d, the multi-storey facility has a gross floor area of about 72,500 sq m, which will allow CDG to expand training capacity significantly, the company said.<\/p>\n
A key feature is the use of “intelligence driving circuit technologies”, said CDG.<\/p>\n
“These include sensors, cameras, and real-time monitoring and artificial intelligence-driven assessments, which allow for more objective and independent training,” it added.<\/p>\n
“The technology reduces reliance on instructors, improves productivity, and supports a shift towards the greater use of instructor-less and tester-less training environments.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
