Singapore’s Grab Backs May Mobility to Advance Robotaxi Plans

Grab Holdings Ltd., Southeast Asia’s largest ride-hailing and delivery company, is backing driverless technology developer May Mobility Inc. with the goal of bringing robotaxis to the region as soon as 2026.

Singapore-based Grab is investing an undisclosed amount in May Mobility as part of a multiyear deal, the companies said in a statement Thursday. May Mobility will use Grab’s mapping technology to study Southeast Asia’s road infrastructure, helping its tech adapt to local traffic conditions, whose quirks include people driving on the left side of the road. May Mobility will also weave its technology into Grab’s fleet management, vehicle matching and routing systems.
