Waymo picks Toyota to build robotaxis for Japan and the UK

Waymo will begin testing self-driving Toyota bZ4X electric vehicles in Japan next year under a new partnership. Toyota will build the 2027 bZ4X and integrate Waymo's driverless system at its Takaoka factory. Waymo aims to run a robotaxi service in Japan and deploy the cars in other right-hand-drive markets such as the UK, where it has been testing Jaguar I-Pace vehicles in London.
