Southeast Asian ride-hailing giant Grab announced on September 20th its plan to launch a self-driving car service in Singapore in partnership with WeRide. Singapore's Land Transport Authority (LTA) has designated Grab to operate WeRide's self-driving vehicles on two fixed routes in the Punggol area. The service will initially include 11 vehicles, a mix of five-seater GXRs and eight-seater Robobuses. Pony.ai also announced its entry into the Singapore market on the same day, partnering with ComfortDelGro to launch a fixed-route self-driving ride service in the Punggol area. Subject to regulatory approval, the service is expected to launch in the coming months.
