Grab launches driverless shuttle pilot with A2Z in one-north

The route spans 3.9 kilometres and has been tested for over 100 hours.

Grab has partnered with South Korean autonomous vehicle company A2Z to launch a pilot of an electric autonomous shuttle in Singapore. 

The service will run between Grab’s headquarters in one-north and the nearby MRT station, starting 9 July.

The shuttle is fitted with A2Z’s autonomous driving technology and Grab’s Internet of Things (IoT) devices. 

It will operate with a trained safety driver on board and serve Grab employees during off-peak hours. The route spans 3.9 kilometres and has been tested for over 100 hours.

The vehicle is equipped with 11 sensors, including LiDAR, radar and cameras, offering a 360-degree view. 

A2Z reported a safety record of over 668,000 kilometres of autonomous driving in South Korea from 2020 to May 2025.

The pilot will also involve training up to 10 part-time safety drivers by the end of 2025, including Grab’s private-hire and taxi driver-partners, and drivers from the National Private Hire Vehicles Association. Five drivers are currently undergoing training.

Data from the shuttle will be integrated with the Grab app, allowing employees to track the shuttle’s schedule, location and future seat availability.
