SINGAPORE: ComfortDelGro has obtained approval from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to begin public road trials of its autonomous vehicle (AV) shuttles in the Punggol district, the transport operator said on Thursday (Dec 11).
The company expects to begin trials of five five-seater AV shuttles in early 2026.
The approval comes after its first batch of AVs successfully completed Milestone 1 trials by the Centre of Testing & Research of Autonomous Vehicles (CETRAN).
The transport operator aims to make AV shuttle rides available in 2026 through its CDG Zig app, under a “Zig Driverless” option.
ComfortDelGro’s Group CEO Cheng Siak Kian said: “Completing the CETRAN Milestone 1 batch assessment successfully highlights our dedication to innovation, safety, and operational excellence.
