Grab partners with Momenta for autonomous driving in Southeast Asia

Momenta, a leader in autonomous driving technology, has announced a strategic partnership with Grab, Southeast Asia’s prominent superapp, to introduce advanced autonomous driving technologies to the region. This collaboration includes a strategic investment by Grab and aims to deploy autonomous services using Momenta vehicles integrated into Grab’s platform.

The partnership will focus on a factory-installed, mass production approach to autonomous driving, addressing the high costs traditionally associated with vehicle modification and hardware integration. Momenta’s dual strategy involves partnerships with automakers like Mercedes-Benz and BMW to equip vehicles with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and the development of Robotaxi technology.

Dominic Ong, General Manager of Autonomous at Grab, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “We are excited to shape the future of mobility in Southeast Asia and Momenta’s impressive technological capabilities expands the ways we will explore that.” Momenta CEO Xudong Cao added, “Grab is the most influential mobility platform in the Southeast Asian market, and we are delighted to join hands with Grab to bring Momenta’s technology and experience to this vibrant region.”

This partnership marks a significant step in the internationalisation of Momenta’s “L2 + L4” parallel strategy and follows Momenta’s recent collaboration with Uber for L4 robotaxi testing in Munich in 2026. As Momenta continues to expand its global ecosystem, the cooperation with Grab highlights progress in making autonomous driving solutions a reality in Southeast Asia. Looking ahead, both companies aim to innovate and empower future mobility, making autonomous driving accessible to all.
