Grab says that the autonomous shuttle has undergone 100 hours of training on the 3.9km route connecting Grab’s office and the MRT station. This process includes data acquisition, data annotation, algorithm training, and on-route testing.
Grab has collaborated with Korean autonomous vehicle manufacturer Autonomous A2Z to trial autonomous electronic shuttle buses for Grab employees to and from its one-north office and the train station.
The electric shuttle bus, retrofitted with A2Z’s software and hardware and Grab’s IoT devices, will begin operations on July 9. The group says that a trained safety driver will be present onboard at all times.
