Waymo is expanding internationally to Tokyo, Japan, in partnership with Nihon Kotsu and GO. The Driver will adapt to left-hand traffic and urban nuances in Tokyo, a densely populated city. Collaborating with local partners, government officials, and community groups, Waymo aims to understand and serve Tokyo’s transportation needs responsibly. This aligns with Japan’s vision for innovative, safe transportation. Waymo’s all-electric Jaguar I-PACEs will debut in Tokyo in early 2025, managed by Nihon Kotsu. Through this initiative, Waymo will enhance its technology’s safety and performance while gaining valuable experience for future developments. Stay tuned for updates on Waymo’s journey in Tokyo.
