SINGAPORE, 20 September 2025 – ComfortDelGro Corporation Limited (“ComfortDelGro” or “the Group”) today announced the expansion of its autonomous vehicle (AV) offerings with the launch of its autonomous shuttle service in Singapore.
The service, in partnership with global autonomous mobility technology leader Pony.ai, is scheduled to begin operations in Punggol in early 2026, offering an additional transport option that complements the existing public transport infrastructure in the area. Members of the public can book these driverless rides on the ComfortDelGro Zig app when the service begins.
The autonomous shuttle service represents a significant milestone in Singapore’s autonomous vehicle journey and will operate on fixed routes connecting key destinations including residential areas, transport hubs, and community facilities within Punggol.
Mr SK Cheng, Managing Director/Group CEO of ComfortDelGro said: “This programme leverages ComfortDelGro’s unique position as a strong infrastructure and fleet management expert with successful AV trials. Through our AV pilot with Pony.ai in Guangzhou, China, and several AV shuttle operating routes in Singapore, we have built comprehensive real-world AV operational capabilities, including fleet management, safety management systems, remote operator functions as well as a training and development pipeline. This programme also presents exciting career opportunities that will help attract younger talent to the transport industry. Our learnings enable us to deliver innovative, safe, and reliable services while ensuring a responsible transition for our workforce and industry.”
ComfortDelGro and Pony.ai’s autonomous shuttles will feature advanced sensor fusion systems, including LiDAR, radar, and cameras, supported by high-precision mapping with centimetre-level accuracy. The vehicles undergo rigorous testing protocols, including extensive validation across diverse scenarios and real-world trials, before deployment. Each vehicle is equipped with comprehensive safety systems including obstacle detection, emergency braking protocols, and redundant safety measures.
The autonomous shuttle programme in Punggol will operate with trained safety operators, leveraging ComfortDelGro’s expertise in developing human-machine interaction protocols and safety procedures which has been refined through the Guangzhou pilot and other AV operations in Singapore.
