Waymo to Launch Autonomous Ride-Hailing Service in Singapore by 2028. Waymo will launch its autonomous electric ride-hailing service in Singapore by 2028, marking its Southeast Asian debut. The Alphabet-owned company plans to introduce an initial fleet of electric Jaguar I-PACE vehicles soon. In 2027, trained specialists will manually drive the vehicles to familiarize Waymo's technology with local roads. They will also help the autonomous system adapt to Singapore's road layouts and monsoon weather conditions. Waymo is working with Singapore's transport ministry and Land Transport Authority on the planned rollout. Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow welcomed the company, saying its technology could create new options for Singaporeans. The announcement follows Waymo's plan to launch Japan's first fully autonomous commercial taxi service in Tokyo. Waymo is expanding as it competes with Amazon's Zoox and Tesla in the growing robotaxi market.
