ComfortDelGro announced on Dec 10 that it has obtained the Milestone 1 (M1) license for autonomous vehicle (AV) testing on public roads.

The license allows ComfortDelGro's AVs to begin trials on its designated Punggol route.

On Sept 20, the company revealed plans to launch its autonomous shuttle service, Zig Driverless, in Punggol later this year. The service is being developed in collaboration with Chinese technology firm Pony.ai. In August 2024, ComfortDelGro signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Pony.ai to explore robotaxi commercialization in China.

The company plans to conduct trials in the first quarter of 2026, with passenger services to follow after mapping and live road testing are completed.

"Successfully passing the CETRAN Milestone 1 assessment demonstrates our commitment to innovation, safety, and operational excellence," said Cheng Siak Kian, Group CEO of ComfortDelGro.

"This achievement meets rigorous AV system standards, positioning us to responsibly implement intelligent transport systems in Singapore," he added.

ComfortDelGro shares closed unchanged at $1.43 on Dec 10.
