## Why it matters

In 2017, Singapore chose to amend existing law rather than enact dedicated legislation to regulate autonomous driving, two years before NAIS, setting a precedent for Singapore's use of sectoral law to govern AI

## Summary

A 2017 amendment introduced Section 6C, empowering LTA to regulate autonomous vehicle trials and use.
