Toyota and Waymo to launch robotaxis in Japan
Original: ロボタクシー
Toyota and Waymo will begin operating autonomous taxis in Japan next year, according to NHK. The partnership brings Waymo's self-driving technology to Japanese roads for the first time, with Toyota involved in the service's operation. The move marks a significant step for robotaxi services in a country with a major domestic car industry and an aging driver workforce, and it is drawing wide attention across Japanese media.
Why now: The announcement that Waymo's robotaxis will enter Japan with Toyota is a major, unexpected development for the country's auto and mobility sector.
