 Waymo to Launch Fully Autonomous Ride‑Hailing in Munich as Germany Backs Robotaxi Expansion Waymo has confirmed that Munich will become its first German launch city, laying the groundwork for a fully autonomous ride‑hailing service that is expected to open to the public in late 2027. The company says the move marks a major milestone in its global expansion, bringing its technology — already used for more than 20 million autonomous trips — to one of Europe’s most influential mobility hubs. In the coming weeks, Munich residents will begin seeing Waymo vehicles on local streets, though they will initially be driven manually as part of a phased testing programme. This early stage includes high‑definition mapping and on‑road validation with trained autonomous specialists behind the wheel to ensure the Waymo Driver adapts to Munich’s specific traffic patterns and road conditions. Waymo co‑CEO Tekedra Mawakana said joining Munich represents an “important milestone” for the company, emphasising that community trust, safety and local job creation will be central to the rollout. Waymo plans to invest in fleet operations and hire high‑skilled staff as it prepares for commercial service. Germany Welcomes Autonomous Mobility German officials have strongly endorsed Waymo’s arrival. Parliamentary State Secretary Christian Hirte said autonomous driving is “key to the mobility of the future,” noting that Germany has already established a legal framework to support commercial robotaxi operations. He added that Waymo’s decision to enter the German market demonstrates the country’s attractiveness for autonomous mobility innovation and manufacturing. Bavaria’s State Chancellery echoed the sentiment, calling Munich an ideal high‑tech location thanks to its automotive industry, research institutions and AI ecosystem. Officials say they will work to reduce regulatory barriers and accelerate the transition from testing to real‑world deployment. Safety and Accessibility at the Core Waymo says safety will remain its top priority as it collaborates with local, state and federal authorities on approvals. The company highlights data from 350 million fully autonomous kilometres, showing 16 times fewer serious injury crashes, 14 times fewer pedestrian injury crashes, and 6 times fewer cyclist injury crashes compared with human drivers. Advocates for blind and visually impaired travellers have welcomed the launch, saying autonomous vehicles could remove barriers often encountered with traditional taxi services and offer greater independence for guide‑dog users. A New Chapter for Munich’s Mobility Landscape Waymo says its service will complement Munich’s existing public transport, cycling and pedestrian networks, contributing to a more integrated and sustainable urban mobility ecosystem. As testing begins and regulatory work continues, the company says it “can’t wait” for residents and visitors to experience autonomous ride‑hailing in the city for the first time.
