Singapore’s autonomous vehicle industry has evolved in leaps and bounds in recent years. This growth is supported by the country’s significant autonomous and sensor technology market, which is projected to soon close in on $127 million USD. The national government’s Committee on Autonomous Road Transport for Singapore even launched its first autonomous shuttle service, the WeRide Robobus, which transports riders through a network of luxury resort hotels.

Global technology company Bosch Group offers a wide range of products to the industrial and consumer goods sectors. Bosch’s deep tech investments focus heavily on industrial IoT and autonomous vehicle technology. Smart driver assistance systems, which augment traditional vehicles with supportive functions like automated braking for obstacles, are fundamental to Bosch products and services like automated valet parking, driving assist systems and garage parking assistance.
MooVita is a smart mobility company that designs and engineers autonomous transportation technology for urban contexts. The company’s signature product lines are the MooBus and the MooBox. The MooBus is an autonomous shuttle vehicle, operated without a driver, that transports riders across cities. The MooBox is a hardware-software hybrid product that functions as an assisted driver in a standard vehicle, offering warnings for collisions, lane departures and speed.
ION Mobility is a mobility and automotive technology company that makes electric motorcycles. The M1-S moto offers a range of up to 150km per charge with rapid charging, a top speed of 105km/hr and the ability to climb up to 25 degrees. While a fully autonomous moto is yet to be completed, the company’s research and development arm is building technological capacity that aims to be fit to launch an autonomous motorbike.
Product design and manufacturing company 3M makes consumer and industrial products for industry-specific and domestic use, from personal protective equipment to Scotch tape. Automotive interior products are one of the company’s major product lines. It’s looking to the future to develop products for autonomous vehicle interiors, which include applications for the adhesives and tapes that the company is best known for. Because many autonomous vehicles are billed as “living rooms on wheels,” acoustic insulation is key for premium sound quality and in-vehicle entertainment systems.
