Singapore’s largest taxi operator is debuting its first robotaxis in China to help with “future-proofing” the industry, as rising incomes and ageing populations makes it harder for companies to find drivers.
ComfortDelGro, No. 128 on the Southeast Asia 500, will partner with Chinese autonomous vehicle startup Pony.ai to launch self-driving cars in the Chinese city of Guangzhou. The two-year pilot is starting with a small fleet of Lexus RX450 vehicles, and will expand to other models over the course of the program.
