Grab invests in May Mobility as robotaxi start-up expands to South-east Asia
The Straits Times
|October 25, 2025
May Mobility said on Oct 23 it has secured a significant equity investment from Singapore-based ride-hailing firm Grab, as part of the robotaxi startup’s move to expand in Southeast Asia in 2026.
-
The deal is a step towards the commercial deployment of robotaxis globally, creating a blueprint for how self-driving taxis are managed within existing ride-hailing platforms.
May Mobility, which began commercial rides earlier in 2025 in the US without the presence of a human driver, will leverage GrabMaps — Grab’s mapping technology — to study Southeast Asian roads to ensure safe deployment.
GrabMaps uses artificial intelligence to process data from Southeast Asian cities to deliver accurate hyperlocal maps that are updated in real time.
