Grab is open to using autonomous vehicles (AVs) to “fill the gaps” in its ride-hailing service, such as on routes that are less popular with drivers, said the technology company’s Singapore head.
But it will take “many, many years” before AVs, or self-driving cars, can be rolled out in Singapore “on a big scale”, Mr Yee Wee Tang, managing director of Grab Singapore, told The Straits Times in a wide-ranging interview on Feb 21. “It’s very early days for us.”
Mr Yee said Grab is thinking about how AVs can complement its pool of drivers. “For example, are there certain routes that drivers just don’t like?”
Noting that Grab cannot currently say “I have reliable service” in certain areas, such as at the Singapore Zoo in Mandai, he added: “So there are certain routes where AVs can fill the gap – and we are trying to see whether that’s possible.”
On Feb 20, Grab chief executive Anthony Tan said in an earnings call that the firm is in “active discussions” with regulators and potential partners to adopt AVs. Grab Singapore did not confirm whether it is in talks with the Land Transport Authority about AVs.

Update: any robo that can drive on China roads, can drive anywhere in Singapore.
