During the initial phase of public rides, Safety Operators will be onboard the AVs to help ensure a seamless journey. To date, 14 Grab driver-partners have successfully completed specialised training with WeRide and GrabAcademy to become certified Safety Operators and another batch of Grab driver-partners are currently undergoing training and assessments.

WeRide and GrabAcademy have also commenced Remote Operator training, where participants learn how to monitor the fleet remotely from the Ai.R Operations Command Centre.
Vincent Teo, a long-time Grab driver-partner who recently transitioned to the role of a Safety Operator, is now among the first to undergo the Remote Operator programme. He shared "I am incredibly excited to progress towards Remote Operator training. When I first started this journey, I never imagined I’d have the opportunity to be at the absolute forefront of such advanced technology. This is a huge milestone for me personally — and I’m proud to be part of the team bringing this future to fellow Singaporeans."
Ridhwan Wajib, a Grab driver-partner who recently took on the role of Safety Operator, said "It's a privilege to be one of the first in this field. This role has been such an interesting journey that I’m constantly telling my loved ones all about it. More than anything, I'm looking forward to the moment my parents and my family step on board to experience this technology with me."
