What Happened
Pony.ai announced that its autonomous mobility service in Singapore, operated with ComfortDelGro, is now available for booking through the Zig app. Starting June 22, residents and visitors in Punggol can use the app to book a ride on a Zig-branded vehicle powered by Pony.ai's driverless technology. The service route connects residential areas with key amenities and transport nodes, including Punggol Coast Mall and MRT station.
“Autonomous mobility is no longer a distant ambition. For ComfortDelGro, it is becoming part of how we operate. From our successful robotaxi pilot in Guangzhou to today’s public launch in Punggol, we are integrating technology, infrastructure, and operational know-how needed to deploy AV services safely and at scale.”
3,500+ by end of 2026
Operations planned across more than 20 cities worldwide.
The expanded consumer-facing access is part of Pony.ai's dual-engine growth strategy to scale autonomous mobility through local partnerships and phased commercial deployment. The company aims to operate over 20 cities globally by the end of 2026.
Why this matters
The move brings autonomous rides to the public via a consumer app, improving first- and last-mile connectivity and advancing Pony.ai's global robotaxi expansion.
