Toyota and Waymo expand self-driving car collaboration in Japan
Published
Toyota and the American company Waymo are deepening their cooperation in autonomous driving. The companies aim to make streets safer and give everyone the opportunity to move around more freely.
The companies will begin increasing the number of self-driving Toyota bZ4X cars in Japan in 2027. The Toyota bZ4X is the company's electric car. According to the news, this paves the way for Japan's first fully autonomous ride service.
Developing autonomous driving is the work of many car manufacturers and technology companies around the world. The companies have previously said they aim to improve road safety and make travel easier, especially in cities. However, the more detailed schedules and operating models of the project are not yet fully clear.
Although the project concerns Japan, Finnish readers can also follow the development of self-driving cars in domestic traffic. International trials provide information about how this technology may change in the future.
