Alphabet-owned Waymo says it will begin testing its robotaxis in Tokyo, Japan in early 2025. The move marks the company’s first step toward international expansion. Waymo has not yet committed to starting commercial operations in Japan but has locked in development partnerships there with taxi operator Nihon Kotsu and taxi-hailing app GO.

“I think obviously Tesla is a leader in the space. It looks to me like Tesla and Waymo are the top two,” Pichai said. Immediately before, the chief executive of Google had noted that Tesla “is making amazing progress too.”
Waymo’s approach of designing both hardware and software from the ground up has been crucial to our success, and it continues to pay off as we introduce our 6th-generation hardware. We’ve significantly reduced the cost of our 6th-generation system while delivering even more resolution, range, compute power, and enabling more capabilities.
