Toyota Motor Corporation (“Toyota”) and Waymo today announced the next phase of their autonomous driving collaboration.
Building on the announcement in April 2025, the two companies will begin initial operations of an autonomous ride-hailing fleet using a purpose-built Toyota bZ4X vehicle in Japan in 2027, with commercial service to follow.
Separately, WbyT is also exploring how Toyota vehicles can connect with the infrastructure around them, with the aim of enhancing well-being for all and helping traffic flow more smoothly.
Over time, those efforts aim to complement both fully autonomous fleets and vehicles with partial automation.
Together with Toyota and Waymo, WbyT will continue working toward a world with zero traffic accidents and freedom of movement for all.
