Waymo to Launch Driverless Rides in Germany by 2027, Expanding into Third International Market
Alphabet's Waymo announced plans to launch robotaxi services in Munich, Germany, by the end of 2027. This will be its third international market and first within the European Union (EU), following expansions in London and Tokyo. The company is set to begin phased testing in Munich soon as part of preparations for a public rollout next year. Waymo has already established itself as a leading player in the U.S., operating robotaxi services across 11 cities with plans to expand further. It recently expanded into San Diego, Las Vegas, Tampa, and Denver. The company aims to adapt its technology to Munich's unique driving conditions through testing that includes building high-definition maps and training autonomous specialists. With nearly 221 million fully autonomous miles driven as of March 2026, Waymo continues to solidify its position in the emerging robotaxi industry.
