Singapore definitely has some of the worst driving standards of any major city I've lived in around the world, so if you can stand up against them with a self-driving car, that is definitely promising.
I'm comparing Singapore to other first-world big cities, but there are other places in Asia where you could make a similar claim.
One of the most surprising discoveries upon moving there was that, unlike nearly everywhere in the West, in Singapore a pedestrian does not have the right of way. In the U.S. this is ingrained into all driver education courses, but in Singapore they do not even slow down around pedestrians who are crossing a street.
The other observation that jumps out to anyone I know who has visited Singapore is how the buses are driven. A Western bus driver would likely lose his job for driving as erratically as they do in Singapore. In fact just a couple weeks ago one of these drivers killed a pedestrian [0, 1]. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.
Self-driving cars would be in for quite a test on the roads of Singapore.
