Waymo and Toyota have signed a preliminary agreement to explore a potential partnership in developing a new self-driving vehicle platform.
The collaboration could lead to a jointly developed robotaxi service and bring Waymo's self-driving technology to Toyota's next-generation consumer vehicles.
Waymo, the autonomous driving subsidiary of Alphabet (Google's parent company), announced the collaboration in a blog post signaling discussions on combining their strengths.
Waymo's robotaxi operations currently run in various U.S. cities, with recent partnerships with Uber and plans to expand to Atlanta, while the AV market in India shows steady growth with industry players and startups actively involved.
