Singapore's Land Transport Authority named Waymo a new autonomous-vehicle operator on 18 September, beside ComfortDelGro and Grab. CNA and The Verge say an electric Jaguar I-PACE fleet arrives in the coming months, trained specialists drive manually in 2027, and fully driverless ride-hail in the Waymo app remains a 2028 aim after LTA approval and a CETRAN safety assessment.
LTA said Waymo joins ComfortDelGro and Grab as an autonomous-vehicle operator. Vehicles are due in the coming months. First driving is scheduled as manual in 2027, with a 2028 commercial ride-hail aim. Every deployment still has to meet safety rules and public-trust tests. CNA and The Verge date the announcement to Friday 18 September 2026. Those figures and proper names sit in that same-day article and attach to this event only.[1], [2], [3]
CNA reports a partnership with the Ministry of Transport and LTA on an all-electric service booked in the Waymo app. An initial Jaguar I-PACE fleet is due soon. In the 2027 readiness phase, specialists drive while the Waymo Driver is adapted to local roads and monsoon weather. Testing is to start in western Singapore, including Labrador and Harbourfront.

The Verge says Waymo still needs Land Transport Authority approval before carrying passengers, and that Singapore requires a CETRAN safety assessment before public-road deployment. It lists other city aims: London by the end of 2026, Tokyo in 2027, and Munich in late 2027. LTA's own note says the 2028 service is an announced timetable.
