$WRD and
$GRAB have received approval from Singapore’s LTA to run autonomous vehicle (AV) tests with the full Ai.R fleet in Punggol. Since starting mid-October, the two companies are now planning to increase test runs on shuttle routes by up to four times before the end of the year.
The Ai.R fleet, 10 GXRs and 1 Robobus, is training for safe, precise driving and real-world scenarios, while the first group of Safety Operator trainees moves to on-road training. Ai.R aims to start carrying public passengers by early 2026, connecting residents to key spots in Punggol.
This marks another step in building AV operations and local talent in Singapore.
