Waymo plans driverless ride-hailing launch in Munich by end of 2027

Alphabet-owned Waymo said it plans to bring driverless ride-hailing to Munich by the end of 2027, making the German city its first planned market in the European Union. The company will begin testing vehicles on Munich streets in the coming weeks, initially with human drivers as it maps roads and adapts its system to local conditions. The move marks a major step in Waymo’s international expansion and could make Munich one of the first European cities to get fully autonomous taxi service.
