Kansas City, MO, September 17, 2026 —

Waymo, the autonomous driving technology company, has announced plans to launch its fully autonomous ride-hailing service in Singapore. The company aims to introduce the service in 2028.

The expansion into Singapore marks a significant step for Waymo as it seeks to grow its global presence in the burgeoning autonomous mobility sector. While specific operational details and the exact scope of the service remain to be detailed, the 2028 target indicates a strategic, long-term approach to entering the Southeast Asian market.

Information regarding the specific types of vehicles that will be deployed, the initial service areas within Singapore, and any partnerships Waymo intends to form for this launch were not immediately available. The regulatory landscape for autonomous vehicles in Singapore is evolving, and Waymo’s planned entry suggests confidence in the city-state’s framework for advanced transportation technologies.

The autonomous ride-hailing industry is competitive, with several companies investing heavily in developing and deploying driverless car services. Waymo, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., has been operating and expanding its services in cities across the United States, including Phoenix and San Francisco. The move to Singapore signals a commitment to international growth beyond its current operational bases.

Further announcements are anticipated as Waymo progresses toward its 2028 launch target, which will likely include more comprehensive information about its operational plans, technological integrations, and its approach to local transportation needs in Singapore.
