Toyota and Waymo said on Oct. 30, 2026 that they will start testing and validating an autonomous Toyota bZ4X fleet in Japan in 2027, with later deployment planned for the United Kingdom and other Waymo markets. Toyota will build the vehicles at its Takaoka plant and integrate Waymo hardware there. The announcement does not set a date for public robotaxi rides in Japan, and personally owned Toyota vehicles remain an exploration.
