WeRide and Grab achieve first autonomous vehicle testing in Singapore
WeRide, a China-based autonomous driving technology, and Grab, Southeast Asia’s superapp, announced last Friday that Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) has granted them approval to conduct autonomous vehicle (AV) testing with the entire Ai.R fleet within the Punggol district. Grab said in a statement that the partners commenced Punggol’s first AV testing in mid-October 2025. With this approval, WeRide and Grab will be stepping up their AV testing program there, and now plan to increase the total number of AV test runs on its shuttle service routes in Punggol by up to four times by the end of the year.
