US firm Waymo to launch robotaxi service in Singapore in 2028

Fully electric Jaguar I-Pace vehicles were due to arrive in the city state in the coming months, ahead of preparations for a commercial launch, the company said on Friday.

From 2027, trained autonomous specialists will manually drive the vehicles to help Waymo adapt its technology to Singapore’s road layouts, monsoon conditions and other local features.

The service is expected to open to the public through the Waymo app in 2028.
