Waymo will launch its autonomous all-electric ride-hailing service in Singapore by 2028, marking its first Southeast Asian market entry, with a Jaguar I-PACE fleet arriving soon and local manual driving training planned for 2027 to adapt to roads and weather.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility, and 3 sources have reported it between 18 Sep 2026 and 19 Sep 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Waymo’s entry makes Singapore the first real-world testing ground for autonomous taxis in Southeast Asia. If you work in urban mobility or vehicle software, this opens a path for partnerships or competition next year.
