Waymo plans Munich robotaxi launch from late 2027A testing phase is expected before the planned service begins, with only a small initial fleet envisaged.
- According to Waymo, Munich is to become the first city in the European Union to receive the service, which is planned to start from late 2027.
- Waymo currently operates around 4,000 vehicles in 11 US cities and has announced launches in 18 additional US cities.
- For Munich, the company does not plan to use its newest Geely van but an upgraded Jaguar I-Pace with a conventional steering wheel and pedals.
- At launch, the service is planned to operate only within a precisely defined zone mapped in advance, covering most of Munich’s 25 districts.
We must now leverage the strengths of our location and develop autonomous mobility offerings from Europe. Our aim must be that these technologies are not only used in Europe but also developed and operated here.— Waymo, in its statement, quotes German Transport State Secretary Christian Hirte (CDU).
