Robotaxis: Driverless taxis in Munich: Waymo announces start for 2027
Waymo is bringing autonomous taxis to Munich. The first test vehicles will be on the road soon - how safe is the system really and what can passengers expect?
Waymo, a sister company of Google, plans to launch a regular driverless taxi service in Munich, Germany, by the end of 2027. This will be the company's first service in the European Union. Test drives are set to begin in a few weeks, with the vehicles initially driven by trained personnel to adapt to local traffic conditions. Waymo is working with German authorities to obtain the necessary permits, building on legislation passed in 2021 that allowed for driverless vehicles on public roads.
The company has already logged over 350 million kilometres of driverless travel in the United States.
