Singapore's Land Transport Authority (LTA) has granted WeRide and Grab approval for the entire Ai.R fleet to conduct autonomous vehicle (AV) testing within the Punggol district
WeRide and Grab commenced the first AV testing in Punggol in mid-October 2025. With this approval, the two companies will be stepping up their AV testing programme 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
Concurrently, the first cohort of Ai.R Safety Operator trainees have progressed to on-the-road training, marking another step in building up local talent for AV operations
