Waymo to Launch Robotaxi Service in Tokyo Next Year

Waymo, the U.S. autonomous driving company, will launch a robotaxi service in Tokyo next year as part of its international expansion. The service will begin with a limited fleet of vehicles operated by local partners, marking the company's first deployment outside the United States. The move comes as Waymo seeks to test its technology in dense urban environments and navigate right-hand traffic, which differs from its current operations in American cities.
