Waymo in Singapore
In Singapore, Waymo is set to introduce its future all-electric autonomous ride-hail fleet, aiming to provide a safe and accessible new mobility option. The company aims to align with Singapore's green journey and smart mobility vision by delivering zero-emission rides, complementing the city's sustainable development efforts. Waymo's commitment to enhancing community well-being, reducing traffic injuries and fatalities, and improving mobility for pedestrians and cyclists is evident.
The Waymo Driver utilizes cameras, radar, and lidar to maintain a 360-degree view of its surroundings, up to 300 meters away, and safely navigate various road users.
With over 17 years of experience and extensive testing, Waymo's technology is designed to confidently navigate Singapore's unique streets and traffic patterns. The company plans to begin initial driving operations next year, starting with manual driving and mapping, followed by autonomous driving with local specialists behind the wheel, and ultimately fully autonomous operations. Singapore's multimodal transit system and sustainability commitment make it an ideal partner for Waymo's innovative approach to shared mobility.
