Waymo Targets Munich for First EU Robotaxi Service by End of 2027

Waymo will deploy robotaxis in Munich within weeks for mapping and safety-driver testing, aiming to launch commercial fully autonomous ride-hailing by end of 2027. Munich would be Waymo's first EU location, following a planned London launch as early as September 2026. Waymo is coordinating permits with local, state, and federal German officials. Subsidiaries in France, Spain, the Netherlands, and Switzerland signal wider European intent.
