Grab inks 4 MOUs to explore autonomous vehicle tech

Group CEO Anthony Tan noted the rapid advancement of AV tech.

Grab has signed memorandum of understandings (MOU) with four autonomous technology companies to explore the impact and potential role of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in Southeast Asia.

The autonomous technologies are Autonomous A2Z, Motional, WeRide, and Zelos.

Grab co-founder and group CEO Anthony Tan noted the rapid advancement of AV technology. Meanwhile, its impact on the region’s transportation landscape remains “largely unexplored,” he said.

“We aim to gain a deeper understanding of how autonomous vehicles can enhance our transportation ecosystem while maintaining the essential role of our drivers and delivery-partners,” Tan said.

The studies’ key focus will include: safety and accident reduction, job creation and workforce transition, and commercial sustainability.

The latter will include assessing the operation conditions of AV services, and analyse their cost structure for long-term viability.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
