Waymo is set to launch its first international road trial in Tokyo in early 2025, marking a significant expansion beyond the United States. The company will collaborate with Nihon Kotsu, Tokyo's largest taxi operator, and the ride-hailing service GO to deploy its autonomous vehicles. This initiative will introduce Waymo's all-electric Jaguar I-PACEs to navigate Tokyo's unique left-hand traffic system and urban landscape.
The expansion aims to familiarize Waymo's AI-powered Driver system with Tokyo's driving culture while ensuring safety through collaboration with local authorities. Human drivers from Nihon Kotsu will initially operate the vehicles to map key districts, enhancing the technology's adaptability to new environments. Waymo's commitment to transparency will keep Tokyo residents informed throughout the trial, reinforcing its dedication to responsible implementation.
