Waymo, in partnership with Nihon Kotsu and GO, will bring its autonomous vehicles to Tokyo for its first international road trip.
Waymo will deploy its self-driving technology in Tokyo in early 2025, marking its first expansion outside the United States.
The initiative will introduce Waymo's all-electric Jaguar I-PACEs to Tokyo's left-hand traffic system and densely populated urban environment.
Initially, human drivers will manually operate the cars to map critical districts, with the aim of familiarizing Waymo's AI-powered Driver system with Tokyo's driving culture.
