Waymo expands to Singapore
Waymo is launching its fully autonomous, all-electric ride-hailing service in Singapore by 2028 in partnership with the Ministry of Transport and Land Transport Authority.
“Waymo is coming to Singapore.”
Proven safety track record
Waymo has completed over 20 million fully autonomous rides and 300 million autonomous kilometres, showing a 94% reduction in injury-causing crashes compared to human drivers.
“94% reduction in injury-causing crashes compared to human drivers”
Phased rollout through 2028
Waymo will arrive with electric Jaguar I-PACE vehicles in coming months, conduct a readiness phase in 2027 with local adaptation, then launch commercial service in 2028.
Supporting Singapore's green goals
Waymo's 100% electric fleet supports Singapore Green Plan 2030, preventing an estimated 480 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide weekly while reducing private car ownership.
First-and-last-mile connectivity
Over a third of Waymo riders in San Francisco use the service to connect to mass transit, and Waymo aims to bridge similar gaps across Singapore's residential and commercial hubs.
Advanced safety sensors for dense streets
Waymo's custom sensor suite of lidar, radar, and cameras provides 360-degree detection of pedestrians, cyclists, and active mobility users for safe interactions on Singapore's dense urban streets.
The short version
Waymo is expanding to Singapore with a phased approach, launching commercial autonomous ride-hailing service in 2028 after establishing operations and adapting its technology to local conditions.
