Waymo to launch autonomous ride-hailing service in Singapore by 2028

Waymo announced plans to enter the Southeast Asian market by launching a fully autonomous, electric ride-hailing service in Singapore by 2028. The company will begin by shipping a fleet of Jaguar I-PACE vehicles to Singapore, with a preparation phase involving human-supervised testing starting in 2027 to gather data and meet regulatory requirements. Waymo joins existing local operators Grab and ComfortDelGro, aiming to leverage its global safety record to build regulatory trust in the region.
