Waymo Picks Munich as First EU Robotaxi Market, Targeting 2027

Waymo will send robotaxis into Munich within weeks for mapping and safety-driver testing, targeting commercial fully autonomous ride-hailing by end of 2027. Munich becomes Waymo's first EU location, after a planned London launch as early as September 2026. The company is coordinating permits across German local, state, and federal officials. Subsidiaries in France, Spain, the Netherlands, and Switzerland signal broader European intent.
